The most beautiful view to wake up to. Site 34 was ours for four days and three nights. We had a blast!! Everyone around was sooooo wonderful and welcoming. Really mellow campsite and we’d definitely go back. Our neighbors RV caught fire and everyone all over camp pitched in to help. What a great community and place. We really love Preston Bend!

Absolutely, the best campground on the Preston Peninsula!
My belief it closes too soon for the winter season.

The park needs more oversight from rangers and needs hosts. It’s a wonderful place to stay if you can keep the rude ones at bay.
