DUB PATTON CAMPGROUD ISN'T WORTH STAYING AT UNLESS YOU LIKE CAMPING ON A HILLSIDE. STEP OUT OF THE CAMPER AND YOU SLIDE DOWN THE HILL TO YOUR PICNIC TABLE. NOT MUCH FUN FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE!

This campground was quiet and clean, rating it lower because there was poison ivy everywhere. Barely any cell service with Verizon.

It was beautiful and we'll maintained. Our only problem was finding it. The campgrounds are not clearly labeled and we camped in the first one but found out the next morning that it was the wrong one.

We enjoyed Dub Patton, it is a great hidden resource that was underutilized during our stay (July 8th). At the time of our visit it was, however, very humid.Our site had water, a waste connection and power. We were one of only a few campers at the entire campground. The campground itself is well maintained and had good facilities.
