I am heartbroken reporting this about a lake I love and hold dear to my heart. Bathrooms were disgusting and dirty with urine and feces. Drove to multiple restrooms within the Acorn Campground. Toilets had feces and urine on the floor. Bathrooms were covered in spiders in all stalls and showers. Sinks were layered with dirt. Park rangers appeared only to keep toilets well stocked with toilet paper while making AM & PM rounds; Which in years past campers would have to bring their own toilet paper by late afternoon. Bathrooms have been in decline for the past 3-4 years. (Except during the 2020 covid shut down only 2 Marina bathrooms were open, while campgrounds were closed). In the past, ACOE contracted janitorial services in which bathrooms were hosed/sprayed down each morning, including disinfected & scrubbed toilets, clean sinks, showers and floors.

Half the showers were broken and water was too hot in the one I used. Bathrooms often out of toilet paper and same glob of toothpaste was in the sink for more than a week. A lot of deferred maintenance.
