Restroom facilities were kept very clean. The RV parking sites were not very level. Could be much improved with a little gravel and leveling applied.

We loved the beach area and being in a campsite so close to the lake! The well water tasted great and the latrines were kept clean. We had a campground host who did a lot of work to make the campground look great.

The lake is very nice. We canoed the entire lakeshore and the most unique thing I've ever seen was dozens of logs sticking out of the water near the south end. I thought they were buoys! The beach area was very nice. The boat launch area was just fine. The restrooms were wonderful. Overall this campground is very well maintained. I would have given five stars but the very loud train horns during the night were not pleasant! Otherwise this campground is completely top notch!

We love this Cadotte Lake campground!
Flies and heat were pretty bad, but thats not the campsites fault.
Great site, great beach.
Our 3rd visit here. We love how it's only an hour away from home yet peaceful.
One of our favorite spots now :)

Very cool camo ground. We had a lake side spot which was nice to be close to the water . Bathrooms were very clean . Only complaint was the loud train constantly coming by and the fighter jets were out too so that was loud as well .

While the campground itself was beautiful we were slightly dissapointed as our walkway to the lake from our site was long grass and very muddy so was inaccessible but could have been from the amount of rain we recently got overall beautiful site with no cell phone reception 😀
