Nice and quiet place to stay, only thing is that lake is not walking distance.

Pleasant, helpful camp host. Clean vault toilets. Very nice camp ground, and we've stayed here many times. Only complaint this time was the drinking water quality. It was very brown with sediment this time, and not very pleasant to use for drinking. First time we'd this issue at this campground. Hope it gets resolved.

Large Pine tree near our camp spot (#28) was hit by a lightning strike during a storm. We were asked to move for safety reasons to any free 'first come, first serve' (walk up) site. Thought we should have received some $$ back since we had reserved the first site and the walk up site was less desirable. Hostess was very gracious. Could use a policy on these types of situations in the future. Lot of work to move.

We live in the area and Dutchman is by far our favorite campground. We try to book a campsite there at least once a year. We're tent campers and there's plenty of flat space for tents. It's beautiful, clean, quieter, the lake is no-wake, and the host is always so kind. Us being paddleboarding folk, we love the no-wake requirement. Highly recommend Dutchman!!!

Camp host was great. Nice large campsites. Farther walk down to the lake than I expected. Bathrooms were nice and clean for pits!

The campground is always well kept, from the sites to the restroom facilities. We always look forward to camping here! The only downside is the proliferation of generators which really take away from the peaceful surroundings. Sure wish they would reduce the generator hours to one could enjoy the peaceful sunsets and sunrises. We've taken to visiting in the off-season instead of summer because the drone takes a lot away from the experience.
