Stayed at Nancy's for a week over the 4th of July holiday. The new bathrooms are very nice. On a busy weekend like the 4th requires more than 3 rolls in each bathroom. The old bathrooms had 6 rolls per bathroom. Also the bathrooms should be unisex so that one doesn't remain empty when it is needed. I would of rated higher but there was a group of men setting off fireworks for 2 nights. Even when the rangers were there. This transpired for 3 nights with no fines or expulsion from the campsite.

It is a beautiful location. However, one group decided to have a drinking party. They were asked to settle down around 11. We could still hear them but it was alright. Then at about midnight, someone decided to leave the party with their girl? And one of his buddies couldn't handle that. He started yelling Jacob! It get alot worse as they yelled back and forth about their prowness with girls and having sex in the boat instead of the woods. But here's why it gets a 1 star. The next day, I called the ranger station to discuss the situation. They didn't ask me any questions, they simply said, "We know Nancy's has become quite the party spot. The second shift rangers are already checking it as late as they can." So just a heads up, if I had children I would not book this campground.

We love camping at Nancy's. The only thing that needs attention is toilet paper needs filled twice a day in peak season

The only complaint I have is there was a medical emergency with a husky being bit by a copperhead and the people couldn’t get ahold of anyone to unlock the gate so they could get the dog to the hospital. I posted on Raystown Shenanigans that there was a boat needed ASAP to get the dog help and I believe that’s how the people got the dog out of there. Made me wonder what would’ve happened if I or my camping friend had a heart attack while there (two 50+ year old women) that were kayak camping.
