VerifiedJanuary 17, 2020 • Stayed at: 19, Loop: DUB PATTON AREA
We couldn't stay here in our Class A and no one could be found to see about moving to a different camp site. The site was completely unlevel (no information about this on the booking site) and we could not get our 34-ft Class A level. There was a large drop-off behind the site, too (again, not mentioned in the description). We did not feel safe with our kids and the drop off being so close. No information on where the campground host was located could be found. DO not try to bring a class A here. THe campground probably works better for travel trailers. We left the site and lost our money. Don't take a gamble here if you are not already familiar with the campground.

Very quiet and spacious sites. Beautiful lake by Dam. Only reason 4 vs 5 is the Dub Patton camo ground isn't clearly marked on way in. I ended up over Dam at South Abutment! Coming back over dam I FINALLY saw the sign for camp ground and state of bath house in my area. Kind of corroded fixtures and just old! But for the$ it is fine!! I love the people who run the Corps of Engineer parks...hard working and very nice. I didn't meet anyone at this park but someone did return my call!!

{"text"=>"Bring extra trash bags and disposal gloves. A rake will also come in handy.\nLoop 1-20 is a local hobo camp.\nNo sewer hook up, but no problem, run it out on the ground. They started installing sewer, but stopped and the pvc pipe juts out at odd angles. Enjoy that.\nLarge dumpster just outside the entrance, but more trash on the ground. Feel free to toss the trash out into the woods. Oil quart containers, clothing, shoes, diapers, cans, bottles, tires.\nBring your dogs and feel free to leave them out off leash. No need to clean up after them. Just yell bad dog and enjoy your carefree stay.\nIf staying in a hobo camp is on your bucket list, this place is a must see.", "languageCode"=>"en"}
