What Guests Are Saying
Jo Bonner Campground is a well-kept and peaceful location with friendly and helpful camp host Todd, making it a great choice for campers. The campground offers a clean environment, beautiful lake views, and easy access to water activities. However, it's important to make reservations online in advance, as last-minute bookings can be inconvenient, and water quality can vary by season.

Campground is usually pretty awesome but this trip was not the standard. The 4-5 sites around us were overloaded past the site guidelines. So many kids running thru our site and not a parent around. The host is generally good about keeping the policies, so I don't know what happened this time.

We haven’t camped at JoBonner in years but decided to give it another shot. The host is amazing. Very kind and stays on top of things out there. I would have given the 5 star if the water wasn’t so nasty this time of year. If we didn’t have a boat to get out to the middle of the lake swimming would have been nasty. Canyon ferry gets pretty yucky this time of year. We will definitely go in June next year as the location is beautiful and peaceful!

Nice campground, clean and well maintained. Great lake access. Very little separation between camp sites and feels like an RV park.

When we got there, the dock had been removed due to low water. Heavy moss conditions. It would have been helpful if that information was on web site. The camp host, Todd was amazing! He went above &beyond to help us overcome conditions.

Campsites were very well maintained, firepits clean and the vault toilets were exceptional. There is a boat ramp with dock adjacent to the campground for easy access.
