All went well, other campers were polite. Park ranger was very nice.
Our camp was right across from bathrooms and the wind blew the vent pipe odor into our camp.

Trash hadn’t been emptied in quite some time, and no one was available to help with an issue with our site we had.

Overall it was a good experience. Security and cleanliness were down from previous years due to COVID.

We've enjoyed camping at Preston Bend for several seasons now. The sites are usually clean and well maintained and campers are usually very friendly and courteous. However, the 12 days we spent there over the July 4th holiday were not as pleasurable. We had neighbors that stayed up all night outside their RV being loud. The park clearly states "No Fireworks", but there were several campers shooting fireworks every single night and no one was there to monitor or enforce the rules. My dogs were terrified and traumatized every night. There used to be a nice couple that took care of the place and enforced the rules, but they are gone and no one is even manning the booth at the entrance. There were cigarette butts all over our campsite, which was a disappointment, especially since no one at our camp smokes. We moved to a second site a few days into our stay and there were dog feces, beer cans and trash all in the fire pit. We'll definitely be back because we love the campgrounds and have wonderful memories there, but I hope things will be a little more organized and monitored next time.
