Many trailer sites are sloped hard front to back making them challenging to set up on and difficult to “live” on for several days. The entire park needs a facelift as roads and sites are rundown. Views of the lake are very nice. Hosts were very helpful relocating us to a flatter site.

Everything was super great!!! The bathrooms could have used a little more attention but it’s understandable how quickly it gets messy and spider and wasp filled. Every associate was very friendly kind and on top of the job! Over all had a greatest time except the northern winds that broke a few things!

Campground was nicely mowed and well kept. Appreciated the fact that the campground is locked at night and no one gets in without being noticed by one the 4 camp hosts. Lavonia is a very old campground and could use some updating. The bathroom/bathhouse closest to us was out of service while we were there but was told it would be repaired in the nest few days...after we left. The other bathhouse/bathroom was very clean and showers worked perfectly. Our site was pretty level, no issues with leveling and was long enough for our camper and pickup. We camped at Lavonia in a travel trailer.

Issues with electrical box. Park host very helpful in resolving problem. Facilitated moving to new site. Restrooms were clean.
Road and site asphalt need attention.

We weren’t able to connect to the sewer at our campsite. Something mechanical with the parks sewer pump not working. There were other sites that did have sewer available though. The park was not busy, so wish we would have been offered a different site. The dump station was also not working, so we were instructed to drain our tanks at one of the empty sites that did have sewer. Shower house was also not functional, so we had to travel to the other end of the park to use a different shower house. It was just an inconvenience.

On our first day i had to notify the ranger that the bathrooms smelled horrible and one of the shower was stopped up. Later the camp-host told us BATHROOMS WERE CLOSED DUE TO SEWER PROBLEMS and for us NOT TO USE THE SEWER HOOK UP.
I asked when would the bath house be able was told MAYBE MONDAY.
We arrived on Thursday- Sunday check out, WITHOUT any shower or toilet facilities !! Horrible experience had to be driving home to shower and driving to area B to use the bathroom VERY INCONVENIENT.
We've been loyal visitors to LAVONIA for over 20 yrs and this was our worst experience. No apologies or reimbursement for all of the inconvenience we had to deal with !!
Ruined our much needed camping weekend trip .
