We arrived at that campground and was initially was treated well by the wife. We had three campsites for our group. All of us have dogs. My friend and I took our dogs down to the beach to get acclimated. My dog scowled a my friends dog a few times loudly as they were running and playing. The owner Paul came up and ask who’s dog was doing that and I told him mine. He told me that I needed to take my dog back to my campsite and put him in my camper and leave them inside all weekend long. My friend told him that was not going to happen. Paul proceeded to to say, do you know who you’re talking to. My friend said I don’t care kick me out and give me my money back. We decided to talk to the wife to try to reason with them being that we were already unpacked and set up. She seemed open to my dog but asked her husband to step in. And he said absolutely not. He wanted us to leave worrying that my dog would bite a person. He was not nice in anyway he did not want to meet my dog. He was a completely rude unreasonable man. My dog is not aggressive to people whatsoever but when he plays with another dog, he plays hard. This place is not dog friendly at all. Don’t go if you have dogs. Also I have a paddleboard and was told I could not take it out on the lake unless Paul the husband approves. Plus they have alot of black flies. Pond lake is weedy!

We love the chill and quiet of this smaller campground! Nancy and Paul are so nice and we've camped here for years!
The good and the bad is if you have ATT service you will not have service. Which can be good for a quiet weekend. ;) There is wifi at the store if you need it though!

My family just got back from our Labor Day camping trip at Bluegill. If you are looking for peace and quiet, then this is it. Nancy and Paul really pride themselves on having a peaceful and wholesome family campground. They have large sites that are very clean, 50amp is what we had. My family honestly loved every minute. Nancy was an absolute sweetheart to my family, especially my crazy four year old who loved stopping into her store. Sometimes kids are not always quiet, but Nancy and Paul never mentioned a peep about my kids and honestly, I really didn’t hear any loudness from any groups or kids. Both want you to have a wonderful time but also be respectful to others during your stay. I absolutely love the themed weekends, the many many kid activities, fishing and swimming. Thank you for a wonderful weekend and we hope to be back next year.

Thank you for your hospitality. The campground features decent campsites and amenities. If you are seeking a peaceful out of the way camping experience this campground is that. Our group was a large family gathering with numerous energetic children and adults who enjoyed staying up late into the night sharing life experiences; we were loud at times but respectful moderating our behaviors as considerate people do. Nancy and Paul did not have to administer warnings and were generous with fixing campsite locations.

Beautiful and friendly! Very well maintained. Has that old time family reunion atmosphere. Our site was on a hill overlooking the quaint sitting fed lake. Lots of grass, not much dirt which is great. Owners are very friendly. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet family experience. I'm regards to negative reviews... If you own a dog the rule is to leash it! That's on you. If you are driving a class A it's not their fault you can't read... Very few 50amp mostly 25 so don't complain. Why mention in ground sewer as being an issue if you know coming in it's not available? Bathrooms are Kitchy but cute and clean. Quiet campground... If you are a huge group and loud I understand why you were asked to leave.
