Area was nice overall, however, the shoreline at the campsite was covered in large rocks and made it dangerous to fish as we had hoped. The satellite image showed different and found out that was just done this past spring. No bait available at this campground which sucked.
We hope to revisit again now knowing of better sites to reserve.

We rented site #276 in the New Duck Loop. Grass was mowed, site was clean, yard hydrant nearby worked (great water flow), and we had a white pickup truck with door panel markings drive by slowly on the first day in the mid-afternoon, which led me to believe they check the campground after check-in time. Bathrooms were reasonably well cleaned and toilet paper present, however the door hinge was broken, and the stall sides were rusted through at the bottom and loose. Our site was the last, right next to woods, and there was a lot of poison ivy so beware, but the woods offered shade and some cover to our tents in rain, which was nice. The water levels were very low (I think about 3-4 ft lower than usual!) so there was a lot of "beach", which the kids enjoyed, but messed up boating. At $28/night, I think it could be cheaper, but since it was just one night I think it was okay. Check in/out was easy and quick.

Our campsite was wet and muddy (needed more gravel). The host was a miserable guy who thought he was someone special. The worst part was that the ladies across the road from us had two little yipper dogs who barked at the wind blowing and had their WHOLE yard area fenced in so the dogs could get almost to the road to bark at everything and everyone. I love dogs but there's a limit to listening to them when you're camping.

Quiet, beautiful place to recharge! Everyone friendly yet stays to self. Our family loves to include this on our summer itinerary - hiking, kayaking, tent camping, cooking over firepit.
