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!

Camp ground was clean better than most places that I've been bathroom was spotless and we'll stocked with quality toilet tissue. The only draw back I have firepit was full of sand I understand the purpose but it had built up to the point of it being unusable also there was no garbage receptacle a simple hollow tube to accept a bag would be great I had my own bag. All in all I will definitely be back and highly recommend this area to anyone.

It was a very pleasant stay the only problem was we couldn’t park both cars easily due to the neighbors having junk spilling over and the waste dump was closed down making it a little inconvenient. Overall a nice peaceful area.

The site was not level. If I had done more research on the campground, I might have found a better site. The dump station was one of the worst I've ever seen. It overflowed, there was raw sewage everywhere. It had obviously been like that for some time. This is a health hazzard. I am thankful this is the exception for Corp campgrounds. We will not return to this facility.
