The camp hosts were not doing their job.
I have stayed at Tally many times and the previous hosts were very detailed, assuring the bathrooms were clean, the grounds maintained , the bees managed (traps hung ), the dock was out and would have been thoughtful enough to let campers know when they arrived if there was an issue with any core services. (the website mentioned construction, so I expected to hear heavy equipment off and on as they worked on the roads, but there was no warning about there being NO POTABLE WATER)
The current hosts:
1. Failed to refill the sanitizer in the bathroom at all during our 2 night stay which was empty on arrival, though they dropped off one toilet paper roll at a time a few times a day, I saw campers carrying their own TP into the bathroom closest to our campsite #4 several times.
2. Failed to let us know on arrival (when it would have been easy to leave and obtain water) that none of the water spigots throughout the camp were functioning resulting in NO POTABLE WATER our entire stay.
3. Failed to do any bee/yellow jacket maintenance, no traps were hung and the bees were so bad we could not stay on the beach and only had relief when out on the lake.
4. Failed to put out the dock and when asked about it seemed put out
So if we were camping without any services, what was the $24/night getting us? NOTHING.
I did contact recreation.gov re above and they submitted a request for a refund which has to be reviewed by the Facilities manager. I will be calling the Facilities manager re above. My husband and I were very disappointed in the camp hosts/issues above.

Excellent spot. Hiked and explored the trail right out from the camp spot all the way to the gate of another dirt road. You can see into this spot when you drive around the road loop, but many spots in this group camping area offer complete privacy. Camp host wanted to see my reservation, and I was able to barely bring it up online, as AT&T provided a bar of service. Verizon users complained of no service. You may want to take a screenshot or print out your reservation before arriving.

Always a pleasure to visit nature at Tally Lake campground. Nice to see that they are making improvements in the campground, including a new water system. Campos seem to be doing a great job. Campground is clean in the bathrooms are clean.
