What Guests Are Saying
Axtel campground is praised for its beautiful location, clean facilities, and friendly hosts, particularly Vickie, who ensures a pleasant experience for visitors. Many families enjoy the quiet atmosphere, spacious campsites with easy access to water activities, and a welcoming community of fellow campers. However, some guests noted issues such as low water levels, closed restrooms, and occasional noise, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive experiences reported.

We love to book shutting the week because there aren't a many campers. Most of the sights are very peaceful and have beautiful views of the lake. Will continue to book there for many years to come. The hosts are very nice

Don & Jo are the best! They work extra hard to keep park running well and safe for all. We really enjoy camping here. We have a great time with family and friends and feel safe in the campground.
