Axtel

Axtel Campground is the best at Rough River!! The people at the check-in station are always friendly and helpful! The only problem I had this year was, we were told they were going to shut the campground down from 7/6/2021-10/31/2021 so we made reservations at Laurelbranch for the remainder of the year. In May when we were camping at Axtel we asked about the closing and we were told they were NOT shutting down now and that they were going to repair one bathroom at a time!!! At the time we heard about the change in plans, it was too late to change our reservations to Axtel because they were all booked up! WE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED AN EMAIL ABOUT THE CHANGE SINCE WE ARE REGULARS AT AXTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only reason I heard about the closing was through Recreation.gov when I asked about it one time when I had called to make a reservation. There was NOTHING posted, that I saw, about Axtel closing on their website!!!!! That is terrible communication, how are customers suppose to know!!

Very clean and well maintained

Perfect place for families with kids! Great beach!

Nice and clean will definitely go back

Axtel is AWESOME! We camp there almost every weekend during the summer. The campground hosts are fantastic, quiet hours are observed very well and the campers are always friendly. The sites are very well maintained and accessible. Campground is on Rough River Lake and there are alot of spots that are right along the water for great lake views OR for shoring your boat. Boat ramp, grocery, restaurants, gas and liquor are all 1 block away. Great campground and awesome hosts.

The park is always quiet and everyone is friendly. Dave's is a great place to grab breakfast or dinner and is very close to the campground. We have camped many times and never had a bad experience. I definitely recommend this campground.

Don and Ms Joann are the best! Love the new gate !!

Please put air conditioning in the restrooms. Everything is perfect besides sweating in the bathroom no matter the reason we have to enter.

We had an overall good experience camping at the Axtel campground during our 3 night stay in June, 2021. The gate staff were friendly, professional & very helpful. The Park Ranger was diligent in his duties of enforcement of campground rules pertaining to vehicle parking. The restrooms, while kept clean, were in need of replacement commodes as the automatic flush systems sometimes did not flush!!
The dump station is not set up to allow for more than one camper to dump at a time , unless possibly there were 2 small campers, which thankfully did not create issues for us thanks to there not being but two campers ahead of us, but could have otherwise. The service at the adjacent Nick’s Marina was outstanding! All in all, we had a great experience & we look forward to returning to Axtel next season.

the bathrooms were out of toilet paper all day sunday. If there is not going to be anyone cleaning and restocking on sunday then someone should at lease restock toilet paper saturday evening. I called the toll house sunday morning to let them know we were out of toilet paper , but it made no difference. Also I think that the idle speed bouys should be moved out away from shore farther from the campground because the waves comming to shore are way too big and really beat up my boat on the rocks on shore.
