Lake Gillette Campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, spacious and well-maintained sites, and beautiful lake, making it a great destination for families and pet owners. Many visitors enjoyed the friendly camp host, convenient boat launch, and good fishing opportunities. However, some noted noise from nearby vehicles and the need for better trail maintenance, while a few encountered issues with site reservations. Overall, it remains a popular choice for campers looking for a pleasant experience.

The website states it can accommodate 30 ft trailers in all the sites and so we booked. We pulled up and neither of the two sites I booked were long enough for 30 ft trailers and we could not back our trailer in without leaving the roadway or hitting trees in the sites.

I will be returning. This camp ground is absolutely beautiful. The camp host was very helpful if we needed anything. The trails to the lake were fun and so close. It was surprisingly very quiet here.

Nice campground! The paved roads are great for keeping the dust down. Water stations are plentiful and near by.

Campground is clean, sites are big and roomy with enough space between each. Bathroom was nice & clean and is across from site 10 (didn't show on map when I booked). Nice trail along the lake (doesn't go around the lake due to private property), 2 day use parking areas within the campground, swimming area accessible. Campground is near an ORV park, so heard dirt bikes and side-by-sides up/down road most of the time we were there.

We do an annual camp trip every year with a theme costume content. Our camp host Rod was fantastic and so was his care for the campground from the cleanest bathrooms and campsites we have seen, to stopping by to say HI and make sure everything was good. He was friendly, helpful and very nice. This truly enhanced our outdoor adventure there. Will see you next year! Ken and Carol Grittner
