The park was nice, and they tried very hard to keep it clean... maybe a little too hard, we felt like we heard leaf blowers non stop during our two day stay. Someone even looked into our firepit, I’m assuming to clean it, while we sitting outside eating

Salthouse has always been one of our favorite spots to camp. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. In today's world, there are guidelines that have been developed in an effort to protect the health and well being of everyone while allowing much needed interaction. This campground provides everything needed and then some. We'll be back soon!

What a gem! We had a fantastic experience meeting with friends to camp at Salthouse Branch! It was not crowded at all and the campsites were very private. Hard to believe that more people don't know about this - especially given the state park right across the lake was completely full! Would definitely consider a return camping trip!
