We thoroughly enjoy going to Salthouse. This campground is about ten miles off the main road making it a very peaceful place to camp. There are three loops for camping, the middle loop is on a small incline that is suited more for bigger campers. The lower loop is closer to the lake and is designed for mid sized campers. We have always campers in the lower loop. The sites in this loop are very close together but we have never had any problems with any of the other campers. The people that camp here are very respectful and friendly. The upper loop is designed for tent campers. There is no power or water for the individual sites on the upper loop. This campground has two boat launch locations, a two swimming areas and two playgrounds for the kids. There are two trials, one at the boat launch at the lower loop and another at the playground near the upper loop.

Great campground and location. The campgrounds are nicely laid out. Everything was well kept and clean. It was nice to have a mix of people there with boats for fishing/pleasure and others just hanging out. Staff was friendly. The local areas around the lake were fun to explore. Overall like many of the Federal sites, much better than the corresponding state parks.

Bathrooms only cleaned once a day, with floors left very wet. Very hot and humid in bathrooms, only has small exhaust fan that only ran a few hours of the day. Gate attendants very nice and welcoming, park rangers very nice and keep good security during day and evening, very professional. No security at night at all. if needed you have to call 11. They let so many cars in, campers cannot enjoy themselves. They should be more like camping at Goosepoint. The park rangers and gate attendants are great, but park needs to improve bathrooms and security at night.
