Baileys Point

Our favorite place to camp. Would be nice to be get ice at the camp ground.

Campground could use some upgraded on the camp sites.

Honestly, all these five star reviews are deceptive. The grass was long everywhere. The bath houses were disgusting, all of them! If you’re going to advertise having a camp store, it should be open. The excuse that nobody wants to work anymore or Covid is nonexistent. Overall, the park just looked dilapidated and it’s a shame because it probably was a beautiful place.
This is a recurring theme across every government facility I’ve been to. Trying to save money by hiring less people to maintain a place to clearly needs a big workforce. There’s a fenced off section by the entrance to C, D that looks like it hasn’t been painted in 20 years.
All the grass that goes down to the water should be cut, so there’s no ticks for the people parking their boats on the shore.
One thing I will give it a positive is the sites are beautiful and the views are awesome! Although my camping experience was miserable! A group of people kept walking through my campsite to get to their boats. I figured they would at least go around and got an attitude when I asked them to go around. Their kids were out, throwing rocks in the road and one of them hit my truck and took a chunk out of my paint. Whatever happened to the Park Ranger? Oh, and that same group would build campfires on sites that weren’t occupied for the night. I had honestly never seen this before and I’ve been camping for almost 50 years.
Now the worst part, trying to get a reservation. I’ve had so many people tell me they can’t get any reservations, but when I got to the campsite there were 3 sections completely open! I was told they keep them closed for a numbers game when it comes to funding which is just wrong. Open up all the sites and let people make the reservations and I guarantee you they will make money. This facility needs to hire a proper maintenance crew and fix up this poor dilapidated park!

We love baileys point! We camp every chance we get during the summer months! We did miss having the camp store open.

Overall the experience was a good one. Only issue I had was, there was no working hand drier or towels to dry your hands off in the mens restroom.
