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 really enjoyed our stay here. It was very quiet and peaceful. The fishing was amazing! We walked on a trail that was really neat to. The only thing I really DIDNT like was the bathrooms and their upkeep. It was very dirty....and the showers stunk of old raw fish. Only ONE of the shower stalls even worked in our area and the rest were already being used as storage for a stove and a few hot water heaters from what I saw there....bathrooms could definitely use an upgrade or at least a really good cleaning. Other than that.... We had a great time there!!!

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

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!
