The rest rooms need to be updated. The first loop that we were in had porta johns that were only cleaned out once in a week. Restroom was suppose to be finished the beginning of June and were no where near done by the end of June. Saw one person work on it for one day in a week and even then stood around talking most of the time.
the campground host in our loop was very rude.

Bathroom in our section was closed. Other bathrooms were in poor condition. Loud after hours and lots of early am dog barking. No water at sites and nothing close. We won’t be returning.

Very friendly people. The park rangers were eager to help us out. The campground is very well kept. I didn't spot one piece of litter the entire time we were there. A great place to camp if you don't mind trailer park camping. I prefer to "Boondock" but this was very nice.

A group of us booked sites 268, 269, 270, all on the water. The sites were clean, but be wary of the poison ivy...it was all through the areas between the campsite and the water, and over half of us got it pretty badly.

Continue north about 1/4 mile, take the Birchwood Drive exit, make the turn-around and go south on Route 18. Before you cross the causeway again, make a right onto West Lake Road and travel approximately 1/4 mile to the park entrance on the left.
