The camp hosts and the people who take care of sanitation and bathhouse cleaning do a fantastic job. Great place to relax.

Park is always clean and well maintained. Hosts are friendly. Wish the park was opened the whole year.

Campgrounds are always clean. Had electricity issue and campground host got someone out to fix it as soon as possible. We always enjoy our stay at Thompkins Bend.

Stayed at site D66, it was a nice spot. The parking space was fairly level with close water and electricity hook ups. It had a good distance between it and other sites with plenty of shade. The campsite had a trail down to the lake, some people nearby tied their boat up by the shore and some kids waded in to swim. The site wasnt too far from the bathroom/showers. The bathrooms are not the nicest but everything worked well. The campground has a playground but it is not near any campsites. The campground host was kind and helpful at check in. Verizon didnt work very well- I was not able to FaceTime and had to resend some photo texts. This was my family's first time at Tompkins Bend campground and we had a wonderful time!

Beautiful area and nice campsite; however, nothing in the description says that this site is unlevel. As a matter of fact, it looks to be the ONLY site that is not level. Also be aware that if folks park their boats near your campsite, they will walk through to their boats. :/ Plus: its within walking distance of the showers/bathrooms.

@PrestonWAE8C13 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #21
Stayed 4 nights ,enjoyed so many things while being there . Did experience 1 problem = apparently I was on the end of 1 elec service so when others ran the 50 Amp my volts went below 108v my surge protector shut off power 2 prevent damage 2 the camper. When they left early sun ,there was no issues. I did let the people at the gate know when checking out. Pretty awesum trip.

Tompkins Bend use to be our favorite campsite for several years, but this year I'm having a change of heart.1. Nothing has been fixed in years! Same broken fence posts, same retaining walls falling a part, same run-down bathrooms, same deteriorating parking pads. 2. The boat ramp is absolutely beat to death! 3. No enforcement on campsite rules (number of campers, tents, and vehicles) has encouraged a great amount of.....riff raff showing up. It is in an absolute beautiful location, but its losing its glory quickly.
@AndreaM3220941 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #26
We had a great camping trip. This was our first time here and it was beautiful! Our site was facing the cove and the sunsets were beautiful.
@RonnyB2042DDD4 · Camped on May 12, 2024 at Campsite #54
Our favorite campground. We have been going there for 40 years.
@WilliamK482864 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #63
The grass at our campsite was 18 tall, the asphalt pad had broken away and was very narrow. The landscaping timber used as a stop at the end of the trailer pad was completed rotten and had the bare exposed rebar sticking up about 8 that someone could easily trip or fall on. The park hosts were very friendly and the view from the campsite was beautiful.
@JamesM9879118 · Camped on May 9, 2024 at Campsite #50
Great spot, great hosts, great time all around
@PhillipHD7513C · Camped on May 2, 2024 at Campsite #7

Beautiful campground that's very well maintained.
@RuthT8819761 · Camped on Apr 12, 2024 at Campsite #54
Loved it. I would stay there again
@JayW4423954 · Camped on Apr 11, 2024 at Campsite #52
The area volunteers should really do a lot more in caring for the areas and camps.
@JuliaH5228825 · Camped on Apr 10, 2024 at Campsite #75
Beautiful camp sites, large, level with water and electric. Some have views of lake. Verizon signal weak and no OTA tv. Great hiking trail although lots of ticks and water moccasins at stream crossings in mid April. Noise from speed boats break the tranquil setting.
@DeronF2A10A37D · Camped on Apr 10, 2024 at Campsite #59
Dogs dogs dogs. So many uncontrolled dogs barking and off leash. I just dont understand why people think everyone loves their dog like them. Happens all the time.
@JesseC9718566 · Camped on Apr 9, 2024 at Campsite #61
Stayed in 61D. Absolutely gorgeous. Our 20 ft travel trailer fit perfectly. Backs right up to the lake and has a beautiful view of the sunset.
@Chrisd8356495 · Camped on Apr 7, 2024 at Campsite #22
Loop B - Site 22 is a gem. Right out on the peak of the peninsula with lots of cool rocks around. Pro Tip: The crows will stay away from you but when your back is turned, make sure your food isn't sitting out.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
