The lake is great for swimming in. Our RV fit in our space that was pretty small. the site had a moderate slope. I walked down to the shed and the lady working the booth was nice and helpful, I inquired about the space next to us the was much longer pad. She accommodated me and the new site was so much nicer. Good customer service.

What a beautiful well maintained camping site! We just loved staying here. The bathrooms were always clean! We look forward to coming back. Hopefully there will be potable water by then! 😊

I was disappointed that after being closed for several years, now that it is open it was still very unkept. Also disappointing that there was no water. Then we could not park in day use area either and we had an individual in our group that was handicapped and had a hard time walking a distance and walking on the beach.
I paid double for a “double spot” yet our site was no bigger than another person in our groups spot and they paid 1/2 what we paid.

My family and I went camping there over the 4th of July and had a wonderful time, so glad it has opened up. The bathrooms could be cleaner but will defiantly be going back.

Need sign on both sides of the road at entrance. Drove right by it. Didn't see that turn was on right. No signs on ranger station saying there was no potable water. Dogs off leash. Owners didn't care. Boaters very loud before 8am. People up until 2 being loud. Teens ran through our campsite at night. Beautiful campground but no rules are
enforced.

Wonderful spot to take the family camping. Would have rated 5 stars but the lack of potable water affected my rating. Had a great time at the beach and swimming in the lake! The staff keep the campground nice and clean.

It’s really challenging to reserve a site -
We are always thrilled when are lucky enough to find an opening .
We’ve been camping at Loon lake recreation site for 30 years and it’s really irritating when you discover that 10 of the sites reserved were never occupied the entire duration of their reservation. People don’t bother to cancel their reservations which is very unfortunate because it could have become available for someone else that really wanted it !
