@MarkM2223984 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #18
Clean restrooms and beautiful campground. The hosts were excellent. Cell service was spotty at best. No water hose faucet at dump station.
@ANDREWL5237889 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #3
We had a wonderful time. Sites were clean and spacious. The lack of cell service made for a great unplugged weekend
@ElaineS4747953 · Camped on Apr 1, 2024 at Campsite #26
Very nice
@DanielW5233823 · Camped on Mar 25, 2024 at Campsite #10
Such a beautiful place! Very calming and peaceful. Very little cell service with AT&T so minimal distractions to take away from nature
@DeniseD6008222 · Camped on Mar 20, 2024 at Campsite #34
We camp here every spring break. It's a nice, clean park but there is a lot of traffic at that particular time.
@JoshS896C4F215 · Camped on Mar 15, 2024 at Campsite #27
Great place. No cell service for the most part
@HaroldC3133315 · Camped on Dec 29, 2023 at Campsite #8
Very nice campground with limited Cell phone coverage
@CynthiaM916014 · Camped on Nov 18, 2023 at Campsite #3
Spot was very level. Didn't have to use any leveling blocks. Minimal phone service. Power pole is behind spot which would hinder you if you have a gate that opens over the bumper. Fit our 27 foot camper and has an extra spot to park vehicles or toys.
@GaryL6692356 · Camped on Nov 10, 2023 at Campsite #6
Always a good place to camp
@marvink482A0C1 · Camped on Nov 7, 2023 at Campsite #12

@Ronniean9A24F0 · Camped on Nov 5, 2023 at Campsite #7

@HeatherS702716 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #30
This is a well kept park. First time camping here. Wont be the last! Rained the whole weekend but the camp sites were nice. They say the fishing is good. Maybe can try next time.
@HazelC4672971 · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #27

@LarryK9E101474 · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #28
Very nice area. Quiet, clean camp hosts were friendly. We enjoyed our time here and would stay again.
@SandraP9D6228A · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #32
Swim area was gross! Walked to the end of the buoys ankle deep in mud. No cell reception anywhere. (Which I knew going in) but I expected to spend my time in the water.
@BoycettaW2394A · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #6
Very quiet and clean
@BROCKB35325883 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #8
Great scenery and clean facilities. Loved our spot (8) it was closest to the swim area so the kids had easy access plus close to the boat. Pads a bit of a downhill slope, 4 blocks under the downhill side's tires put it level.
@JoyceH5429380 · Camped on Jun 15, 2023 at Campsite #3
Alway friendly, clean, and helpful. Preston and Debbie are amazing. Carter Cove is our favorite place to camp. Restrooms and showers are kept clean. Easy access to fishing, even without a boat.

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!!!
