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.

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!

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

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.

I have been coming to this campground since the mid 80's, although it has been since 05 since the last time. I have always loved camping here, and my most recent experience was pretty good, but it wasn't perfect. First off the mosquitos were terrible. They were always a nuisance, but they are downright vicious this year. That's not the fault of the campground, but just a warning to come prepared. The biggest issue was the fact that toilets were filthy and the one closest to our campground ran out of TP in both the men's and women's toilets, and the other ones were extremely low. Luckily I had my trailer, but I feel bad for anyone wanting to tent camp thinking there will be stocked facilities to use.
