Winnie Campground is praised for its friendly host, Nicole, who has significantly improved the campground's cleanliness and maintenance. Campers appreciate the spacious, beautiful sites, immaculate vault toilets, and the peaceful atmosphere, especially during less crowded times. However, there are some concerns regarding bear activity in the area, which has prompted campers to be cautious with food storage.

The new campground host, Mike, made our entire trip frustrating and stressful. It was sad that such a beautiful place had to be "cared for" by such an individual. Our entire group of family members, around 100 of us, most who have been coming to the Winnie Campground for over 40 years, had a less than ideal vacation because of his actions and behavior. We can only hope that the Forest Service doesn't allow him back next season. Please feel free to contact me if you need further clarification on the subject.

This was a very nice experience this year compared to the last 10 years. The best part was having a campground host that was wiling to mow the grass in the camp sites and walking trails. Keeping the grass shorter was beneficial for keeping the mosquitoes and wood ticks down, and pushing the poison ivy away from our legs. A better job still needs to be done about the poison ivy next to the lake access cement steps. There are several down trees that would be available for firewood if we could only use our chainsaws.
Our family has been camping annually on Lake Winnie for over 60 years and regard this place as a tradition that started with our Grandfather, Herbert Bartelt in the 1930's. This year we had almost 60 family members there at one time including brothers, sisters, and cousins.
How about having a bathroom at the lake's public access? This would be very well used and appreciated by both the fisherman, campers, and hikers.
Keep up the good work!
