It bothers me a lot, especially on weekends to try and get a campsite reservation and then see so many sites that have been reserved and not used. It seems like because the cost of a campsite is so reasonable that many people reserve several sites during the season and then don't take the time to cancel when they get busy with other things or just don't care if they have tied up sites that could be used by others. The camp host told me it is just too difficult to enforce people who simply pay for a site and deny others a chance to use them. I really think there should be a stiff fine for leaving a site unused. Or the parties that abuse this privilege should be warned and then denied further reservations for the rest of the season.

The campground is well taken care of. The maintenance people and staff were very friendly and informative. View of Holter was amazing.

Tent sites are quite close together, so it can be noisy, as many people do not follow the "Quiet Hours" that are supposed to start at 10 p.m. Also, the tent sites are very close to the boat launching ramps, and many people start to launch their boats as early as 5 a.m. Adding to the noise from trucks, boats and trailers are the loud conversations that occur during the process. Perhaps place some signs asking people to try to be quiet in the early morning hours. Campground is clean and convenient, the ground is soft enough to easily insert tent stakes, and there aren't any better options nearby, so I'd stay there again but be sure to bring the best earplugs available.

Great campsite. Not much privacy as there is little to no trees but sites were spaced apart. Gravel pads and tables were tidy and bathrooms were cleaned regularly

The ground keepers have taken great care of this place this year, still wish the first beach got sand. Thank you!

Worst campground experience I've ever had. Absolutely no presence of camp hosts whatsoever. Office was never open and nobody was enforcing quite hours. Fishermen launching boats at 4am gave no thought to the fact that people were sleeping in tents 100 ft away and yelled back and forth from the parking lot to the ramp freely. People staying up, loudly drinking and doing drugs until 2am, then sleeping in their truck in the parking lot. After we arrived and realized that our site was in direct sun with no shade, we couldn't even find a camp host to ask about moving to an adjacent, unreserved site that had shade.

Clean campground but very busy. Noise from the lake specifically music from wake boats and pontoons kinda ruins the experience.
