Always have a great time at the campground. The kids enjoyed their time at the beach and small playground.

It's a lovely area and the sites are large and private. Unfortunately, this spring, with so much rain there was standing water in some of the sites, and the mosquitoes were terrible. There was also a bumper crop of army worms dangling down from the trees and they got on everything, including us. As a result, we were unable to enjoy the outdoors for most of the week. But we had a fun time at the winery in Withee and spent some time looking around Medford. I highly recommend this campground in dry times, but check about the water and bugs before going so you are prepared.

Sites are nice, having one with lake access is wonderful for taking out our canoe. This campground could easily be five stars if they simply cleaned the bathrooms. They were not cleaned during our Thursday-Sunday stay and were disgusting. There were cobwebs all over in the toilet stall and shower, floor was wet from a leaking toilet. We tried using one of the other restrooms but it was just as bad. No hand soap or paper towels/hand dryer available. The host site was messy/cluttered with outdoor storage and looked like a permanent residence.

Very nice campground for a reasonable price. We had electricity, which was nice. Witnessed a beautiful sunset over the lake! I think the showers should be free, not $1 for 5 minutes.

Tons of bugs, few dogs barking at each other, showers run on tokens but there is nothing on any info board on how to get those. No firewood for sale in the camp, so you have to leave to get it. Camp hosts were nowhere to be found. Couldn't locate a phone number for more help. Decided I didn't want to camp after arriving to all that plus 47° morning temps predicted so I went to a hotel in Medford instead.
