Despite the rain and storms, we had a good time. Our only complaint was the fact that there was no attendant in the booth to check in and out with. The park ranger had to check us in on our last full day of the stay and he just stopped to ask a question about another camper. We prepaid for our campsite but got the impression that other campers were staying for free because no attendant was checking campsites. The vault toilet in our overflow area was unkept and not usable. We also saw foreigners sinking a small garbage sack in the lake. This was of great concern to us as United State Citizens'. We love Tablerock Lake but this was out of the norm us. We hope our tax dollars can fix this problem.

We've stayed at Viola Camp Grounds for the past several years and we enjoy it much as this is a low key camp ground and people don't get rowdy.

@MichelleS85055 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #21

There's a good set of bathrooms/showers and a very bad pit toilet bathroom. The pit toilets were absolutely covered with black flies and I couldn't use them. Other than that the campsite was great.

@LoganS8508710 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #48

Loved the amenities, everything was clean, convenient and our younger kids loved it. Great swimming area and the campsites are so nice.

Level site 33 - short site would not try with a TT over 22 foot. We have camped at corps parks for many years cleanest bathrooms and showers

@LarryG4149139 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #44

I enjoyed the campsite. I loved the all cement site. We had our awning out and was in the shade all day.

@JessC655FFCA09 · Camped on May 19, 2024 at Campsite #52

The campground was so clean and tidy. The restrooms and shower were immaculate all day every day.Has a great time kayaking

@RuthF2791974 · Camped on May 15, 2024 at Campsite #29

Viola is a small park on the lake. Nice beach and boat ramp. Due to lots of trees that make the park shady it is hard for big rigs to get in sites.

@ScottM5484435 · Camped on May 1, 2024 at Campsite #26

Good campground

@JulieG2507232 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #49

Always a great time at Viola campground! Super clean campground. Got to meet the new hosts and they are awesome people! Heading back in a week for my last trip of the season :(

@BrianL8268206 · Camped on Aug 10, 2023 at Campsite #5

I have been a yearly visitor at the Viola campground for almost a decade.I am very happy with this campground. It is clean, neat, orderly and safe.The stationed supervisors are very friendly and helpful.Thank you for maintaining a great campground.Concern: The back shower in the shower house has a drain issue. I had water and soap suds rolling out the door frame and down the side walk.

@AmyE3367893 · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #32

It was nice having clean restrooms and showers! Campground hosts were the best! Very respectful and polite! Great improvement from previous year! We love Viola Campground, only wished the Marina still rented nightly slips.

@KelleyR39402FF · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #44

The campsite was beautiful. We had views of the water. Grandson enjoyed swimming.We were close to a town to do laundry.

@JohnnyWE827BD4 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #18

Viola is an awesome camp ground we stayed in spot 18. It has a beautiful view of the lake. The only bad thing is the rest rooms they are an old out house the need to be redone and put in some showers on this side this camp ground is the only one that has one set of showers

@GaryR1641966 · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #26

The park attendants are the best we have ever had !!

@KennyS9FB4223E · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #45

Needs to be cleaned up to look like Campbells point seems like the corp takes a lot better care of that place than viola

@jessiS153FB73E · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #44

There was a bit of an issue at check-in as someone had parked their truck in our slot. The owner was down there in mins to find the owner and get us in our slot. The entry to the slips for the camper is a tiny bit tight and awkward, but not too bad. The campground was a little crazy when we got there due to a terrible storm they had the night before. But the owners worked very hard at cleaning and clearing up the area. The campgrounds were wonderful. It was quite and clean, it had a beautiful view of the water, an easy walk away to the swimming beach and just across from the boat docks. I also really enjoyed that our site had space in between our neighbors, so it gave us a more natural setting. Plenty of room for our camper and the kids tent, as well as, plenty of shade for us and the dogs. Had a wonderful conversation with the owner a couple times, they were very helpful with questions we had as well as finding some firewood. Truly a delightful stay and can't wait to return!

Shower need keep clean and everything all good..

@michaelg734741 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #35

#35. Blacktop. Hot in summer but in a shaded area. This area has surrounding sites which would work great for a group. Lake view. Had to level but not much. Great beach area at this park.

@LindaB8903771 · Camped on Jun 16, 2023 at Campsite #25

We had one of the best camp host couples we have ever had. They were so congenial and he kept the campsites clean as soon as a camper left and if necessary right before a new camper came in. We hope they continue at Viola Campground.

@LorraineDD9D84 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #2

Park attendant was so friendly and helpful! Showers and toilets were always clean. Enjoyed our weekend :)

@AngelaH869D51B · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #28

We always enjoy staying at Viola. It’s a beautiful campground and one of our favorites. It has a nice marina, restaurant, swimming area and boat launch. We like the sites that have electric and water. One side of the park does not have both and that is the only downfall.

@jonC3773603 · Camped on May 23, 2023 at Campsite #2

Greatly enjoyed our time camping!

@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!!!
