A beautiful campground! Such a beautiful view from every direction. We had lot 29 and were very happy. Don’t forget to fill up with water first in November. My only complaint was that the dump station was closed so we had to go to Gairy stone campground and pay 10.00 to use theirs.

Had a wonderful experience, and usually do! My family goes here every year at least once to camp. Always a good experience! I personally loved camping more this year because they restricted the grounds to just campers due to covid. Usually the campground is too crowded between campers and day users.... even though I enjoy it everytime we go.... this year seemed extra special due to the feeling of being not over crowded or cramped!

I liked it a lot better when it was first come first serve and you paid with cash........don't like how they make you reserve spots now and pay by credit or debit card.

Goose Point Recreation area is a beautiful place, even in November! We were surprised how many other campers were there.
Our site was right on the lake this time and so we enjoyed the view. Our site had electricity. Water at the site was off but a central spigot remained open so we could fill our tank. Rain meant this stay was a bit like being holed up in a cottage on the English coast.
Although Recreation.gov said that there was no water at the dump station, it did not say that the dump station was closed. In fact it was closed so even using our own water to clean up after dumping out tanks was not an option. This was unfortunate since we planned this trip as our last before winterizing our travel trailer. The solution was to go to nearby Fairy Stone State Park where we could pay $10 to dump.
We will certainly return to this wonderful campground.
