Then map used to make reservations is not quite accurate. The restrooms are located between 4 and 6. The garbage cans are there as well. Because we did not want to be next to either of those we ended up finding another site which was great. The camp was not that full so it was very peaceful and quiet. a short walk to the water. We did find it interesting that there was a note on the restrooms stating that it was difficult to keep them as clean and sanitary as they would like with the Covid ordeal so asked us to be sure to use our own sanitation. However, there was no fresh water available because "it was a communal spot".
We couldn't practice our own sanitation for that? Doggie bags are available to clean up after our dogs. Why couldn't we use bags to hold the pump handle then dispose of them? all in all it was a good few days. Kids had a blast.

The water is missing and there's no mention of that. Booked a spot next to water, checked maps, made sure it was near water. Nope. No water. Its no one's fault but maybe update the maps.

When we arrived, someone else's name was on our site, we took it anyways. No one else came to claim the site so guessing it was a mistake. There was no camp host which means no firewood for sale so grab some in town beforehand. The bathrooms were clean, no water or hand sanitizer though so bring your own. The grate at the campsite was a bit higher than most others I have seen so we had to make a larger fire to cook food. There was a good amount of both trees and sunny spots. Also, very close walk down to the lake where many people put kayaks and paddleboards in. Look at the map before driving in, there is a left turn that you need to make that is not marked, otherwise only 0.3 mi of dirt roads, the rest is super smooth. Would definitely come back again.

Part of what made the experience at Little Fawn campground was how clean the restrooms were. The caretakers I think their names were Bill and his wife Joy, were friendly, helpful, and great people. They deserve a big raise.
