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.

First time to camp at this location. Very disappointed that the camp ground doesn’t have water hookup’s at each site and that all campers must use tank water from the RV. There are only nine spigots for the entire camp ground. You are allowed to use them to fill your tank, but then must disconnect from the spigot even if it’s located on your camping spot. The Corps of Engineering needs to invest some serious money into the camp ground for better roads, improved spots with wider level parking spots, water sources for each spot, tree removal and trimming and 50 amp electrical hookup’s. Also future planning should include boat slips in the cove to tie up your boat due to the shear rock bluff. As a boating camper I would gladly pay for boat slip rental.

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.
