What Guests Are Saying
Tompkins Campground offers spacious, clean sites with friendly staff, making it a favorite for families and returning visitors. The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful lake for paddling, and well-maintained bathrooms contribute to a positive experience. While some areas could benefit from upgrades, many campers appreciate the reasonable prices and the campground's recent extension into the fall season.

When I first arrived at the campground I thought it to be a nice place. I pulled my camper into Cove 83 and began setting up. A thing I noticed was bits of trash and debris scattered around the site because previous campers failed to be responsible for their trash but also no one came to police the site after for quite some time. As I was setting up I couldn't avoid the neighbors across the road. There two adults and four young boys running around not only being quite loud but in their underwear with the two younger ones with diapers down at their knees. As the kids got louder the adults would scream at them from their chairs. I left my trailer to take a walk with my dog around the campground and as I was approaching the road the adult woman was bent over with her pants down around her knees and her big, huge posterior exposed to me. I came back some time later and there were a few more adults two got into a loud argument and the language was not appropriate not only for kids but for being in public.
I spoke to the camp hosts on that night and expressed my concerns and frustration with them pointing out there were over a dozen people at that site across from me all close together in and outside at the trailer there was not a mask in site on any of them. I asked about moving to another site away from those people with no offer of help given The camp hosts were only concerned about a vehicle parked on the grass and insisted there was nothing they could do and took a hands off attitude. They told me they looked at the reservation ticket and they were due to leave the following day.
I Told them if I was going to have to endure those people I would just leave but didn't want to be penalized my fees.
It was getting late and I decided o stay the night. Not long after 7 AM the noise from the kids began with the adults yelling at them and another foul argument between them. When I found out they were moving to the site beside me I notified the host asked for a ranger...

We camped on Site #1 for six days the beginning of June 2020. We loved kayaking the lake and appreciated the kayak racks at the boat launch where we stored them when not in use. We also walked part of the Mid-State Trail and the Moccasin Trail around the lake which was an easy enjoyable walk. The Campground Hosts were friendly and very visible throughout the campground. We saw lots of wildlife - opossum, black bear, turtles, deer, chipmunks, squirrels, frogs, fish and variety of birds. Unfortunately, we were there only a few days after the campground opened (due to COVID 19) so the property was not as well groomed as it has been when we were there in the past (grass was high and just being mowed). The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously!! Thank you!
