Guests appreciated the accommodating camp hosts and the peaceful environment, particularly the well-kept restrooms and scenic views. However, there were concerns about noise disturbances and the behavior of a camp host, which detracted from the overall experience for some visitors.

The campground was very clean and they even raked the campsite before our arrival.

Very nice clean place to stay for camping. Camp hosts do a wonderful job with keeping up with camp sites by raking after each guest stay. Camp host accommodation for moving camp sites was very appreciative by a guest that picked wrong from map selection. Clubhouse Lake is incredibly clean for swimming and nice beach area for small children.

This was our first experience at boondocks in our 32ft class A camper, and it was great.

Beautiful area; beautiful campground. Camp Host did not fulfill his duties: Did not enforce the maximum number of vehicles, etc., at sites. Did not enforce noise rules, or stop the extra large, multi-site group, from shooting off Fireworks for over an hour, down near our site. Camp Host was rude and unprofessional, twice, banging hard on our door, telling us to be out by 1PM. It was more than an hour before checkout time; we already had our things packed up, and were just finishing up our lunch, before leaving. He did not introduce himself, did not thank us for coming, or invite us to please come again… he just told us to, “Be out by 1PM; there’s another group coming in!” He was downright NASTY! We stopped to dispose of our garbage before leaving; he was sitting on the top of a Picnic Table, watching a woman do the raking of the nearby site… My husband went over to talk to him, telling him we had already had our things packed and ready to go; and to address the Fireworks issue… The Camp Host just flailed his arms up in the air, and said, “Whatever!” He did not care about anything, but being Nasty; unapologetic and uncivil.

Arrived on Wednesday and we had the entire camp area to ourselves until Friday. The restrooms were the cleanest I’ve ever seen and the lake was peaceful. Thank goodness we had Thermacells as the bugs were bad without. The towering trees were quite the site to see.

Easy to find. Very beautiful area..Very old Pines ....clean bathrooms. Lovely Bird songs and Magical Loon songs. Clean area that is cared for by volunteers that certainly love what they do ! No firewood and a hand pump for water. Bugs were not terrible.(early June) Peaceful area and Clubhouse Lake is pristine. Good for Canoe and Kayaks. Sandy Beach and walking path. Sites are somewhat far apart and blocked by Forest but basically private. Picnic Table and Fire Ring. No cell service/T-Mobile.

Generators were running 24/7. Camp site across from me had lights on all night long. Thursday night partying went on until almost midnight.

Great spot. Very quiet. Camped on an August weekend and few people in the campground or on the lake. Will definitely be making a return trip.
