Vault toilets had no toilet paper the whole stay. Reservoir had a beautiful view, but yellow algae was present at the time of my stay. Sites were not very level.

Poole Creek offers a beautiful setting with excellent opportunities for boating, kayaking, and fishing, making it a popular choice for campers. The campsites are spacious and generally well-maintained, providing a peaceful environment, though some guests noted issues with dust, noise from other campers, and restroom cleanliness. Overall, visitors appreciate the friendly camp hosts and the campground's proximity to scenic spots like Crater Lake, making it a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

The mosquitoes were horrible.
The water was perfect.
The camp host could use some improvement. Here are a few things I noticed that were unacceptable behavior on her part.
1. Allowing a small child to stand on the floor board of the golf cart while traveling throughout the campground while the host and another woman sat on the seat of the cart.
2. The host collected any unused firewood from each campsite when the guests departed from their scheduled stay. This firewood was then taken to the host site and added to her personal firewood collection.
3. She locked the gate to the group site when vacant. Then she would unlock the gate and collect the large amount of firewood that was stacked there and move it to her host site.
4. She seems to enforce the “dog on leash at all times” rule only when dogs were in view of her host site. The entire beach area was full of unleashed dogs and she only noticed a couple of dogs swimming in view of her camp site. She came to those campers and started screaming at them to keep their dogs on a leash yet 50 yards away were 6 dogs running free with nothing said to the owners

Great location, wonderful access to the water and the site I was in was well-shaded and spacious. The only downside, through no fault of the campground itself, was the abundance of mosquitos. Other than that, it was a very pleasant, fun experience and will definitely go back!

We come up every year to the group campground and it has always been taken care of. This time, no one bothered to clean the bath room, and we ran out of toilet paper. We had to go get some from the camp host. Never before has this happened. By the time we left he bathroom was smelling very bad.
