Dub Patton Campground

We love the Dub Patton area yet this time our experience was not up to par. We stayed at site 17, had one heater plugged and the power was continuously tripped. Nothing else was plugged in, might i add. We use the same heater every time we come and never have this problem. The water was dripping when we got there. Tried shutting it off yet it dripped the entire weekend causing puddles which made it muddy. Called the help line no one ever came and was told we couldn’t get a refund until the reservation was up. Never received a refund and the restroom was flooded also.

This area is not for big rvs. We have a 24' pulled by a chevy avalanche and barely made it through the narrow roadways.in the turnabout. This area is also full of trees that drop sap and nasty all over your vehicle. The spot itself was nice although only a couple spots are spacious in this area. The street was quiet and much lass campers here so we could ride around on bikes and let our kid play without much fear.

The campground is under renovation lots of construction materials blocking many of the sites. The bathroom and shower were tidy. Camping spots very close together. The moon rise and sun rise over the lake were spectacular.

First no cell phone service had to go into Hernando to use the phone. 2nd. a problem on site #1 with a limb broke and possible could fall on our Airstream. We pulled out, flagged down a park ranger and told them the problem. He told us we could move to another site, and we did. Also, told us to go out online and change our site which we tried with no success. Called the number that they had posted told the lady the problem, but she could not fix it either. She said because the first night has been used, we would have to wait until the reservation run out and try to collect our money back. In the meantime I had to pay for the site we moved to #22. I called went the reservation was over told the lady the problem. She submitted a request for refund and today I got a email stating that I would get a refund. Thanks for caring.

Enjoyed the visit in the park. Quiet place to camp.

Though colder than we desired we found the campground beautiful and the facilities more than expected.

The bathrooms were kept warm, which I greatly appreciated. The sites were small and very close together. This did not affect me, because I was the only person in this section. My site was right next to a bright street light. There were also other bright lights around. This was very bothersome. When I go out camping, it is to be in nature, not to feel like you are on a city block. You can not enjoy the stars or the sun rise with the light hiding the views.

Bring extra trash bags and disposal gloves. A rake will also come in handy.
Loop 1-20 is a local hobo camp.
No 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.
Large 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.
Bring 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.
If staying in a hobo camp is on your bucket list, this place is a must see.

If you have ever wanted to experience a hobo camp, this is the place.
Bring extra trash bags and gloves.
Diapers, used oil containers, bottles, cans, just imagine anything you would put in the trash and you will find it laying on the ground there.
Sad park that is neglected.
Most discussing COE park I have ever visited.

Not much to see or do unless you have a boat or fishing license. The area was nice, lots of trees. Be prepared for ticks, bugs and ants.
