We love South Shore, however, this trip was different. First of all the garbage was over flowing, there was no camp host nor did anyone come around so we could inquire. The bathrooms were not serviced ( on their sheet) since 7.11 and only 2 rolls of toilet paper were put in quickly each day which ran out. I’ve gone for years and they were always kept up. Kids swimming off dock by boat ramp and no sheriff on lake as boats were at full speed in no wake zone. CG road is horrible with huge pot holes that my car almost bottomed out.

The lake is wonderful and good for swimming and paddling. The campground sites are spacious, but could use more trees for shade. The bathrooms are pretty awful, smelly, infested with flies, with no hand sanitizer provided, and often ran out of toilet paper by mid-morning.

The garbage cans were overflowing for a week. We called the forest service and they blamed the campground vendor. The vendor showed up on day and got nasty and said the FS was responsible for the garbage. In short, we had to smell the rotten garbage while the FS and vendor battled it out. In the end the vendor turned over the dumpsters and said to hell with the FS. All the roads are filled with huge potholes. No camp host. Many campsite were empty as there is no incentive for folks to cancel. Again, no park host to update who is registered and who is not. Been going there for years.....it is in a steady decline.

There is no camp host at this campsite. Unfortunately we were right next to the parking lot and the overflowing garbages. The view was pretty and the lake access was nice. But we would probably find a different campsite next time.

Bathroom was with out toilet paper for over 24hrs on July 12, and it smelled awful for a full day. Many on the dumpsters were overflowing. There was a campsite that was very pound into the morning hours but no host in the campground to control the noise.
