Coneross Park

Was very disappointed with maintenance of campground toward water. No clearance of grass or trees to water. Full of poison ivy and other vegetation making it impossible to get to water for fishing and swimming. Unlike other Corp parks in same general area.

Love the large sites

More trash drop offs

Everything was great and everyone was friendly. No one complained about kids laughing and playing, but we kept them quiet at night.

I just wish trash was still picked up each morning, but it was easy enough to take it as we left

We had a wonderful stay until we didn't. After a relaxing week of camping, we were prepared to stay another week when we had an encounter with an individual who was acting out of sorts (wandered to our campsite, wandered to the front gate, and stayed in the restroom/shower house for close to five hours invading space of others and making restroom and shower use uncomfortable). This individual was wandering freely through the campsite without a reservation, making paid guests uncomfortable and the Army Corps of Engineering Staff at the front gate knew it. We asked the kind camp host volunteers for help. They called the front gate for help on our behalf. Despite three calls for help (1. to the front gate attendant, 2. To speak to a Park Ranger who we were told was coming but did not, and 3. a call to law enforcement, this individual was deemed:

1. Not to be a current guest, but may get a reservation - by John- Corps of Engineer gate attendant
2. Not being under the influence of drugs but possibly intoxicated by law enforcement.

In both situations despite the fact that this person had no reservation and did not belong, was allowed to stay on the grounds and never once was escorted to the front gate to ensure the story being told aligned with reality.

The gate attendant was dismissive of our concerns. He even chuckled in front of us on the phone with both the Park Ranger and law enforcement when we insisted he call for help. He said on the phone this was not a big issue.

So, as paying guests, we were treated with less dignity and respect than a person who wanders in either by foot or by boat who does not belong. We also learned in the course of our very frustrating afternoon that this type of thing occurs - non-paid guests come to the sites from the lake and squat on campsites.

We chose to cancel the remaining 8 days of our stay and leave because this individual knew where our campsite was and we felt unsafe and the staff wasn’t concerned for our safety.

A gem of a park. There were not many people camping when we were there and I don't know why because it was so nice. Lots of shade, very flat sites, quiet and a beach area. Lots of waterfront sites. We will go back!

This was the first time camping at Coneross. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the park, large campsites and double dump stations. We will plan future trips to this campground.

Beautiful park, great site, quiet and Hartwell late was beautiful.
