We really enjoy camping at Poole Creek and kayaking on Lemolo Lake. It is one of our "go to" destinations. However, there are some recurring negative issues. Toilet facilities are not cleaned regularly. Toilet paper is stocked but there is little to no effort to sweep out or hose out the facilities. This situation is probably due to the absence of a Camp Host during our visit. Some of the toilets have broken locks which prevents them from being secured during use.

No campground host, and few garbage bins

Due to nearby fire we decided to leave immediately after our arrival. There was no camp host to communicate with.

Incredible spot right on the water. Beautiful views and large campsites that could accommodate a decent sized group, camping with tents and a bunch of hammocks. Some tree coverage, but mostly exposed to the sun. Most people on the waterfront campsites had full trailers and plenty of space to pull an RV or trailer in.

stayed in site number 6; had a great view of the lake. campground was quiet and easy to navigate.
had to evac early due to wildfires.
would recommend bringing your own porta-potty. My cat's litter box smelled better than the vault toilets

The spot was perfect for a funeral reunion. When we got there, the vaulted toilet had not been maintained and had feces on the walls on floor. We had to clean it up to make it sanitary for the young children that we’re going to be there other than that it’s a great spot, and a good size for multiple people
