#35. Blacktop. Hot in summer but in a shaded area. This area has surrounding sites which would work great for a group. Lake view. Had to level but not much. Great beach area at this park.

It was nice having clean restrooms and showers! Campground hosts were the best! Very respectful and polite! Great improvement from previous year! We love Viola Campground, only wished the Marina still rented nightly slips.

I have been a yearly visitor at the Viola campground for almost a decade.
I am very happy with this campground. It is clean, neat, orderly and safe.
The stationed supervisors are very friendly and helpful.
Thank you for maintaining a great campground.
Concern: The back shower in the shower house has a drain issue. I had water and soap suds rolling out the door frame and down the side walk.

The campsite was beautiful. We had views of the water. Grandson enjoyed swimming.
We were close to a town to do laundry.
