I was there with my daughter and her son. For his birthday gift. I like to take my grandkids camping for their birthdays instead of giving them gifts. I give them memories. We go to the lake to the boat and have fun. Even when it is cold. They just love to be out there on the lake and have fun at the campground on bikes and the playground.

Great campground! We stayed in site 2 and was very happy with the site. We will stay again. Make sure to go visit the fish hatchery during your stay, it is free and our family enjoyed it. This is a wonderful family campground.

Wonderful campground, sites are level, clean and easy to get into. Bathrooms were clean. Maybe just need a little improvement in the hot water lasting longer and the shower pressure, and better curtains or doors installed instead. Will definitely be back next camping season. Family says it's their favorite campground we've stayed at.

Very nice campground for families and old folks who enjoy watching the fun the children are having with their toys.

We have been camping at Dale Hollow for many years. However we only go about every 5-7 years. So we noticed some major differences from the last time we camped there. It seems as though it is falling into disrepair. The bath houses need to be updated. They have cut away several large trees that provided shade for the campsites. I am assuming they had good reason to, however, it would be nice to see the replanting of trees so that in years to come the sites will be shaded again instead of ugly stumps. We stayed on site 78 and it was in need of more gravel and a new picnic table. The fishing dock along the streams that leave the hatchery was broken and unusable to fish on. The last time we camped there it was a new addition so it is sad to already see it dilapidated. Only one dock, out of what use to be three, is still usable to fish the Obey River. Lastly, the long bridge towards the end of the bike trail also needs some help. There were many loose boards. I hope these are things that will have changed the next time we go camping. But the staff were friendly, and as bad as the bath houses looked, the womens side was cleaned as well as it could be. There was updates so there is hope the previously mentioned items will be addressed. They have replaced a bridge that is over the trout hatchery streams and the bath house in the center of the campground had A/C. Some campsites were better than others with fresher gravel, concrete picnic tables, and concrete pads under the table. Ours was not one of those sites so it became excessively muddy after the rain. We did truly enjoy our stay just a little disappointed to see the campground in need of repair. But nothing made us feel like we wouldnt return. It is still worth going to.

An excellent COE park. All of the hosts are very friendly and professional. The cleanup crew keeps the cleanest bathrooms and shower facilities we have seen. The grounds are maintained and look great.

We always have a great time camping at Dale Hollow Dam. Johnny and Tina Tooley make everyone feel at home. They and the volunteer host Tama are very helpful.

Enjoy very much camping at Dale Hallow. Very helpful host. Clean facilities. Just a great place to stay. Have stayed there 2 weeks this year. I would highly recommend staying at the campground.
@MelissaQD538B7 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #48
Perfect camp ground for bike riding. Awesome bike trail with beautiful views. Clean bathrooms. Nice camping spots! Spots by the river are cooler due to the cool water since its a river that holds trout. This will be our go to camp ground!
@SarahJan416501 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #53
What a beautiful, peaceful place to stay!We stayed right on the river. All amenities were close to the campsite.

@JohnR2194126 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #70
Beautiful campground, well-maintained, friendly staff! If you are checking out on Sunday just be sure to plan ahead if you intend to use dump station before departure. The line can be pretty long. I recommend spending an extra day and leave on Monday if possible. Other than that, one of our favorite places to camp!
@OrvalB8221378 · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #1
Nice, well-kept campground. Friendly camp hosts. Great walking trail at the end of the campground.
@billys6484028 · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #60
Love going camping here. Always super clean and the fishing is good. I do wish they would get the bathhouses womans showers fixed in the front and back bathhouses. The front one needs benches repaired as there arent any hooks on the walls. Also the drains fixed as the water backs up horribly. The back bathhouse has water flow issues and no where to put your clothes. Other than that I highly recommend this campground. We come several times a year.

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!!!
