Always a wonderful time spent at this facility. Ease of checking in/out, cleanliness if the campground overall, trash maintained well, bathhouses, toilets, sinks, etc. Well cared for, clean and always stocked well. Security patrol is easily seen throughout the daytime and evening hours, which is comforting when you bring small children. Gate attendants are ready and willing to help with any situation that may arise, friendly, caring and always with a smile. You will not go wrong with choosing this facility for a great time celebrated with family and friends

We were able to relax here and listen to the sounds of the night. The spots were not too close, but close enough to be able to have neighbors if wanted. We stayed in one of the group sites. We could see the lake through the trees and hear the boats on the lake. There was not an over abundancy of boats on the lake that it was hard to enjoy the water. The staff was polite and helpful and there was plenty of security patrolling throughout the weekend. The bathhouses were not too far to walk, but not right there with the camp sites. We were able to fit a 3 man and a 2 man tent and a popup canopy in our camping area with alot more room to walk around and place our chairs around the firepit. We were highly impressed at the prices of firewood. They do not gouge people by selling small bundles at huge prices. We spent $10 and had plenty of wood left over for someone else to use when we left. The water in the lake was the perfect temperature for the first weekend of September. We were able to find about 20 or so fairy stones at the dig site by being patient. We will totally be coming back another time.

Wonderfully kept campground. Nice and spacious sites. Beautiful setting. Unfortunately dogs overrule the campgrounds. Barking at all hours, and "guarding campsites".

Only campground I've ever been in that check is 5:00 by the time you get set up the day is gone. Check in should be no later than 1 or 2:00 pm. Most campgrounds are 11:00 am. All around my picnic table was all dirt (no gravel) . Check in being the time it is and campsites that dirty
probably our last trip to goose point.

It is best to camp during the week instead of the weekend to busy & crowded on the weekends. When we camp we use a yurt to camp in. We're to old school to go get a camper or a RV. I saw way to many campers & RVs with Tvs in them and we find that is just pure lazy. One spot pulled up with a really big RV that was loud & very annoying and once they got settled I saw the kid chilling in the hammock with a phone playing games and in my opinion when you go to camp it's suppose to be a tent, no phones or tvs. When I was growing up my parents would take us camping up at Goosepoint and we had tents, sleeping bags n games. In my opinion if you can't rough it for a few days the old school way cuz Goosepoint has so many different things to do & explore and if you have to have a fancy RV that's loud with a TV then stay at home, go to an actual Ev park or just stay in a hotel. Leave Goosepoint to the old school folks who can actually rough it & do camping the correct way. The kids aren't learning anything or exploring nature the correct way by being laid up inside a RV come on people. But over all we had good time, just wish when we go to camp that there were more actual rough & tough campers camping then bunch of lazy rich people.
