This place has so much potential but there is very little upkeep to this campground. The area itself is really nice. It is remote and surrounded by beautiful forest. The roads were a little sketchy but that is not really the problem. The campground is not being taken care of. There was litter throughout the campground and down by the boat launch. The boat launch area actually had more litter which was so unfortunate. Our campsite was no exception. It had trash laying around and the fire pit looks like it had never (yes never) been cleaned out. The bathhouse was so gross even after they "cleaned" it. The bathhouse only gets cleaned 2x a week (per their little sign-off sheet) and except for the trash can, one could not tell anything else was done. We did not see any rangers or hosts working while we were there for 5 days. We hope this park gets the attention it deserves.

Trash! Broken glass, bricks, rags, trash at the sites , trash on the nature trail, trash at the day use area!

Homeless camps galore! Never had I seen so many piles of old tents, tarps, and beer cans! Hypodermic needles, and food trash everywhere

Scared for our personal property and safety!

Stayed two nights in site 017 which was a nice private wooded site. Some of the entry roads were unpaved but well maintained. The staff at the campground were friendly and very helpful. A bit of a slope for setup so we had to use levelers on this back-in site. Had breakfast our second day at Badin Lake Family Restaurant on our way out to find some repair items for our RV. Our second night it rained so our cookout moved indoors but all in all a great campground.

Can’t say enough about the experience we had at Arrowhead. When we need to relax and rest we know we can count on the Arrow Head camp ground. So peaceful and spacious. Loved every bit of our stay. We will be back many more times.
