Sites and roadway are in need of repair. Beach is hard to get to for older people. We did not receive any information on the campground nor the surrounding areas.

Beautiful campground with friendly camp hosts, clean restrooms and nice sites. Two beautiful swimming beaches that can be a bit crowded on weekends with campers & day use folks. Great Park rangers and we were so impressed that several of them walk the campground roads on the weekends.... Very personable and made our campground stay very special.

Campground has easy access, is exceptionally clean and we'll laid out. The sites are gravel, very level, and hookups easily accessible. Of note is how overall quiet the campground is, with campers being very respectful of others. The bathhouses are very clean and handy. The dumping station is centrally located and well maintained. This is easily the best COE campground on Philpott Lake.

Great place to camp with a tent. Very shaded & large campsites with good spacing in between camp sites. More privacy. Can easily fit 2- tents. One is a tent pad & the other area by the pull through driveway. Metal pole to hang a light, fire pit with metal grate & large picnic table. The sites around the lake do not have water or electricity but a water area is conveniently located by the lake area sites. 2- Bathhouses with 3 toilets & 2 showers each. They are both handicap accessible. 2swimming areas & a playground for children. RV sites available @ the front of the campground. Wood for the fire pit is available @ the gate for a minimum fee. A convenient store L& M Mart about 10 minutes away for gas , grocery items & fishing bait. Very nice people. The park attendants were very nice & helpful for any issues that came up. Highly recommend this camp experience. Love Horseshoe Point!
