This was by far the worst family camping trip of all time. Dogs barked all day and night. The neighbors had the loudest generator ever made running all day. The park host drove to our sight screaming at us about driving slower even though we stayed at the speed limit posted everywhere. When we explained that it's just a big truck and sounds louder but we were doing the speed limit he screamed he was telling the park ranger to kick us out which never happened. Park ranger said he trusted the host because he knew him and didnt know us even though we had multiple witnesses in our site and others that saw how wrong it was. Showers were inconsistent with hot turning to ice cold. Toilets won't flush either. The camp sight itself was beautiful but we were treated like trash. As we were packing up our kids tossed a frisbee. We had two sights so they played in the one we had finished. Camp host showed up and took the frisbee. When asked if we could have it back he got mad since the sight was empty. We had to explain it was ours for 4 more ours so the kids were playing. He reluctantly gave it back. We made do with our 7 kids at the lake up the road every day but will never ever return to this campground. We spent around $400 for both sights to be treated like garbage. Don't camp here if you don't want to be badgered for existing.

We look forward to staying at schwarz park. It is always a clean quiet place close to water activities. We enjoy driving up to te lookout and driving the roads of the Boheminia Mining District. Always run into interesting people.

this is a very family friendly campground. it is close to hiking, water sports, and biking. Very quiet setting. the camp sites are far enough apart to provide some seclusion. Everyone very friendly. The plus of this campground is that it is alcohol free! Bathrooms and showers were clean. Very friendly staff.
