We had a nice stay at Cadotte lake. The boat launch, beach, bathrooms, and campsites were well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The campground is next to a beautiful lake deep in the woods. However, there had been so much rain, we had a bit of misery tent camping. Our main problem was our campsite, #8, was not as elevated as the others so it was full of huge puddles and mud. Also, the wetness made the site full of bugs. Most of our problems were not the fault of the campground. I would just stay away from site #8 if it’s been rainy. I would definitely go back.

Vault toilets, very clean and supplied with hand sanitizer. Camp host was excellent, delivered firewood to campsite. Fire pit had a couple inches of water from rain but worked around it. Verizon cell service pretty much nonexistent.

Planned a trip with my wife and disabled children based on the description stating their was a playground. No playground was at the campground. I asked the host and they said there is no playground. I brought up the website and it is listed in the description. I had two very unhappy children because what was promised wasn't there. The service we came for was not there and has never been there. We left early because we were all pretty upset. After multiple emails to recreation.gov about it, I have not heard back from them with anything substantial. They have emailed me back asking for more information I've already provided multiple times. Dissatisfied with the lack of service provided and the lack of any follow-up. I recommend avoiding reservations through recreation.gov after this experience. Thanks, Desten

- Two pets per site
- No switching sites upon arrival
- Please Note: One RV with tow vehicle per single site or one vehicle per tent site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged a per night fee and collected at the campground.
- Reserved Sites will be held until the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of the second day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released to other guests.

- Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
- Don't move firewood: To limit the spread of invasive tree-killing pests, firewood from outside the area is not permitted. Some states have quarantines and may confiscate your firewood. Please help protect our forests from invasive species by obtaining your firewood at or near your camping destination and burning it on-site. Visit dontmovefirewood.org for more information.
