Really great campsite! Shore line is a bit marshy at the time we went, so bring appropriate shoes / pants for bugginess. Hosts were very helpful and informative, and kept us in the loop about storms approaching and where to take shelter. Great host.

Only feedback would be better/clear instruction on where to wash dishes near campsites - we mostly just saw where NOT to wash them.

Always be ready for rain. Lots to visit nearby such as Beartown, Cranberry Glades & its Visitor Center as well as the Salt Cave just outside of White Sulphur Springs. The Big Draft Brewery is a nice place to dine.

Well, at least now we’ll know not to camp along the lake. Two sites down(#19), the people had two small dogs that carried on constantly. It was ridiculous. I mentioned to the camp host who was in the site next to us that the people must’ve thought the yapping critters were grandchildren instead of dogs. This went on from Sunday until early Thursday when the campers left with their dogs. Then it was a peaceful day. But then Thursday night after ten p.m. a party broke out up the way. It went from loud talking and laughing to yelling and shrieking, I’m assuming as alcohol consumption increased. Again, with the camp hosts right beside us. I mentioned it as we were packing up Friday to the attendant as she removed the card from our driveway post. She apologized and asked if we complained to the host. I smiled and just said, “They are right there”.

Camping area and lake were pristine. My young son enjoyed the beach and the campsites were nicely spaced with plenty of privacy and convenient access to the lake.
