What Guests Are Saying
Promontory Park at Lake Proctor is praised for its beautiful setting, peaceful atmosphere, and friendly staff, making it a favorite for family retreats and camping experiences. Many visitors appreciate the clean facilities, good fishing opportunities, and the chance to enjoy nature. However, some reviews mention issues with ants, outdated bathhouses, and a need for more 50 amp power sites, which could enhance the overall experience.

I love Promontory been going here almost 40 years. Had the worse experience ever on the day I was to check out. My jet ski broke down on the water and I swam it into a cove and walked back to get a trailer. Backed down to the water to load non running jet ski. Truck did get stuck, back tires in water absolutely no property damage. Within 10min a park ranger showed up as I was calling to get my truck winched out. Now my day is bad enough and this ranger does not care that I was in an emergency situation, he only wanted to try and tell me I was wrong and write me a citation. Now who ever the low life is who called law enforcement instead of asking what was wrong or offering help I hope they are never in a mechanical emergency and need help and not harassment. Then the gate attendant tried to actually tell me that there is no situation that could possibly require ANYONE to drive on the grass. The gate attendant obviously has no boating or on the water experience of any kind, But I don't knock her for that. The problem I have is that I am at this park on a weekly basis and I know exactly where the water level is and has been and when the area was last covered in water making it undrivable. The lawnmowers was just driving there 2 weeks ago. Contract vehicles drive on these areas anytime they perform work. BUT THERE IS NO SITUATION ANYBODY SHOUD HAVE TO DRIVE ON FEDERAL PROPERTY GRASS???? This was some gate attendant I have never seen before. Mr. Myers is great and would have never done anything as unacceptable. Mr. Myers knows me and knows I do business with this park all summer every summer. I know he can't be there all the time but I wish he was. Best gate attendant Promontory has ever had.

Our site was a mess grass was so high our grand babies could not walk to water with out getting sticker burrs all over them. Wen asked for a weed eater or a mower so we can clean up area the staff was rude. Light under pavilion were out. We went to town to buy lights and weed eater to clean up our selves. Very bad experience there at promontory park

As usual it was great! One thing I was dissapointed with was the lack of park rangers or gate attendant part of the week. Seems like tent campers were in abundance in the rv areas. I hadnt seen this in past years and we have been coming here nearly every year since the mid 80's.

We arrived at gate at 3:45 pm and no one was there. We were told by someone who appeared to be living close to the gate (outside the park) that attendant would be back the next day and would bring our window tag out to us. We followed signs and found our camping spot. We never saw the attendant until we stopped again at the gate when we were leaving. I stopped and went to window to ask several questions concerning my park pass and location of the dump station. He was absolutely no help, telling me he had no knowledge and he was not allowed to inquire or to offer help, repeatedly saying "they don't let me do anything", advising me to go on line and find answers for myself. He appeared to be annoyed by my questions and was quite rude. Park conditions seemed fair. Grass had not been trimmed around electrical box and water faucet and excessive dog dropping that we had to clean up. We were at a total loss as to how to get rid of garbage. We were in a motor home so once we were set up, we could not drive around in search of a dumpster. We did find one on our way out, but it was not pleasant having to bring our garbage inside each night nor to haul it to the dumpster inside our motor home. A receptacle within walking distance would have seemed reasonable. Park was quite, but does not offer anything other than fishing that we could see.

This is a very nice lake. Be prepared to walk a good distance to fish if you’re not paying for a campsite. Overall enjoyable experience. We visit several times a year.
