The best view of the lake is at this spot. Very easy to back in any size trailer. Plenty of room to spread out your gear.

Hawthorn Bluff offers a beautiful, well-spaced campground with plenty of shade, lake access, and recreational activities such as fishing and hiking. However, maintenance issues like overflowing trash, bathroom cleanliness, and access to amenities have been noted by several campers. Despite these challenges, many visitors still enjoy their experience and appreciate the park's overall charm and potential for improvement.

We have never camped where they lock a gate at 10pm. No one gets in period. We traveled from Arizona to see our grandkids. We were forced to spend 2 nights in a hotel as we could not make the 10pm curfew. We would never had stayed at Hawthorne if we knew about this as it was not only inconvenient but cost us more money for the hotel.

Love everything about Ampang here except the allowing of noncommercial driving in and taking over the fishing dock. No rules being enforced is making it worse so they keep coming and telling others how easy it is. For a guy like me that loves to fish it's a hindrance especially when they have attitudes. May be some fights one of these days because I'm not the only one that feels this way.
