Frank Russell is an excellent place to camp with full hookups and updated sites. The showers and bathrooms need updated.

We enjoy FRID very much but some of the sites afford more seclusion than others. Site 45 was long (single driveway) but very close to the site behind and in front of it. Barking dogs (2) and their dog-owning friends (2 more dogs) from across the road met up for outdoor meals within feet of our campsite, creating a cacophony of barking like I’ve never had to tolerate before, at this or any other campground. NO correction to the dogs - NO taking them inside the trailer and NO camp host on duty created a very unpleasant situation. These were retired-age folks that I thought would know better and have a better comprehension and respect for camping etiquette. After three days of this, my husband had a few minutes discussion with them -a bit heated - and things improved after that but it shouldn’t have to come to that if campers would practice basic manners. So, I can’t recommend these three sites. WAY too close together.

The nicest RV park around the Lake. It would be nice to improve Ray Behrens and Indian Creek the way you did Frank Russell.
