Planning to come back. Facilities were clean, bear boxes are provided for safe food storage, and the campground host was super cool. It has a nice beach though one drawback is that dogs are not allowed down there. Understandable, but it would be nice to have a section for dogs to hang - a great deal of campers have pooches. Liked the feel of the campground - it hasn’t been updated or remodeled so it has this fantastic “old” feeling to it (decades old chip seal, dirt camping pads, ya know - the worn-in look). Fun to see the airplanes land at the airstrip.

I love this campground. The lake is always spectacular. I have a problem with the outhouses. There is so much more that can be done for hygiene, even if we are camping. The science on decent outhouses has come a long way ; spend a little money and that place will continue to be amazing. Thanks.

We have been going to Sullivan Lake every year for 16 years and have deemed it our "happy place." This year was another great one. Our one complaint was the entitled people who have started camping there and reserve their spot on the beach for an entire week by leaving their chairs, umbrellas, boats, etc. on the beach for their entire stay, even if they aren't currently using them. The sites are all now reservable, but apparently some people think the beach is, as well. This should be addressed by the hosting company because it has become a progressively worse problem every year. We don't want to sink to the level of these incredibly selfish people, but may have to just to have a spot by the lake. Very sad. Beach should be first come, first served.
