Philpott lake is beautiful. The entire lake is surrounded by trees. The water is clean and clear. The campsites are well maintained. The bathhouses are clean. Great for kayaking.

The power new to be fixed, before someone’s camper burns up. We keep having power dips. Burning up power cords.

We love salthouse! Our grandson loves the playground. Riding scooter and his bike. Playing with all the kids. We didn't get in water, too cold. Water is low. Good family environment.

Camping at Salthouse was amazing. The staff was so friendly and the bathhouses were spotless. My grandson was camping with us. He took his kayak out and miles from shore his paddle broke. He called the guardhouse with his dilemma. They sent someone out on a jet ski with replacement. We are so thankful for everyone going the extra mile.

we drove in around 3-4pm, no one at gate area, or information about our stay, found our site, which had drink straws, bottle caps, trahs and dead tree debris, which we picked up or pushed off to the side. The camp ground seemed abandon. We saw no one from our arrival until we departed the next day 8-9am. Sadly it seems that and we talked about the fact it seems like a recent large investment in electric and water had been made. The address took us to the lake management office 5 to 10 miles away.

Yes the road was narrow going in. There was a site there that had signs all over it stating "camp host" Never seen anyone there but what a gross, eyesore. Clean it up! Beautiful park except for this junk site. 2 workers at the gate were very nice
