Frank Russell Campground offers clean, spacious sites with full hookups and well-maintained concrete pads, making it suitable for RVs of various sizes. The campground features quiet surroundings, convenient access to biking trails, and facilities like a fishing pond and playground. While some reviewers noted minor issues such as slope on pads and limited Wi-Fi, the overall experience is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

We always stay at Frank Russell when we come up. We have been staying for 17 years.
Haven’t been camping in awhile but we are making up for it now.
The last 3 weekends in a row we have stayed.
I trying to talk my husband into just moving up there. I would love to work for you. I love hiking and taking care of trails and being outdoors.

The campground was absolutely pristine along with large sites that include a picnic table and campfire pit. There are 10 horse stalls that are under cover. The trails are well marked and the scenery is beautiful! I met a lady named Diana cleaning the bathrooms in the horse camp. She was very friendly and helpful in answering my questions as it was my first time there. At least 4-6 more stalls need to be added. 10 is not enough to accommodate when there are 6 trailer sites. Most people bring at least 2 horses per trailer. We definitely will return to this beautiful place!

In terms of the campground, it was excellent: electric hookup worked well, it wasn't crowded so was nice and quiet, lots of tall trees, good clean bathroom with hot water showers. The only thing was that none of the spots are that close to actually accessible water, which is how the lake/reservoir is set up. So, it's a great spot for a night or two, but unless you're fishing or doing something nearby there isn't a lot to do actually AT the campground. Gave it 5 stars because it's still a well run place.

We liked the views, beautiful!! Our campsite had a pretty good slope to it, had to use many boards to level. Other than it was a very enjoyable trip - thanks!!

Equestrian camp sites were awesome. Plenty of room to get backed in. Plenty of water hydrants for getting water for the horses. Plenty of hitching rails to tie horses to. The trails were awesome and very well marked. The bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. Nicest facility I have been to. Will definitely be going back.
