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 liked our campsite ok, but the showers were not very clean and the hand dryers the men's room didn't work.

Axtel is one of our most favorite campgrounds. The whole park is unusually clean and the sites are a very good size.
The only complaint I have is that there is a couple that fills the "camp host" position who can sometime be very rude and unhelpful. Several times we have asked questions and they acted as if we were interrupting their work. I actually thought that the main job of being a camp host was to provide assistance to the campers. Maybe they should be retrained or replaced for a more amiable couple.

We love the campsites on the water! Also close to bathroom! Only wish they would update the showers in the bathroom!
