The sites were the best they've ever been as far as mowing and the campground host Nicole was super friendly. The bathrooms were extremely refreshing as well. The biggest problem was all the bears that were roaming throughout the campsites. We had to make sure we put are coolers in the vehicles so no food was left out. We've never had this big of a bear problem. So I give it a fair because of all the bears and having to keep coolers in the vehicles.

Great week with good weather until the second weekend when the area was hit with a night of thunderstorms. Fishing was good and dining on them was even better. Many different types of birds and waterfowl, along with squirrels and chipmunks. We even saw black bear. Our camp host, Nicole and husband were fantastic, greeting all campers as they arrived, keeping the grounds well maintained and the restrooms maintained twice a day and never short of paper or hand cleaner. As always it is an enjoyable week of rustic camping that I have enjoyed since the year I turned 12 years old. I turned 74 this year.

This was one of the best trips to Winnie Campground in a long time. The campground host was very nice and hospitable.
The camp sites were all mowed and clean. The restrooms were clean, the toilet paper and hand soap were restocked properly. It's too bad about the bears checking out the campsites almost daily during the day time hours. It would be nice to have the poison ivy controlled around the lakeside steps and walking trails. How about cleaning out the boat docking lagoon so it is usable.
