I may have had a better experience if I had different neighbors. I camp in my travel trailer and the site I had offered the camping area behind the parking area and separate from where I parked my trailer. All the sites were very close together and it felt very tight. In addition, there was no privacy between sites and the people next to me had three dogs, one of which barked constantly day and night. None of the camp hosts ever came to speak with the people about their dog barking nonstop. I have dogs and I expect some barking when camping and dont usually mind. This was ridiculous. I left after one night and forfeited my second night reservation to camp at Detroit Lake Campground, which was actually quieter with better space/privacy between sites. I will not camp at Hoover campground again.

This is a nice location but we have been camping here for over 30 years and it is disappointing to see how little effort is put into maintaining and repairing structures. Also, the only walking trail has fallen trees that block the path for anyone with mobility issues.
@GregoryG651402 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #7
The Camp Host Was friendly and helpful. We had a great time.
@NicoleD9B67573 · Camped on May 3, 2024 at Campsite #8
Great campground! Clean and well maintained! Clean flushing toilets and designated trash areas with water spouts around the campsites.
@KatHD8258C5EE0 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #6
Great place! Water was pretty far down but still nice, canopy provided enough shade to survive in the heatwave! Overall a clean, nice place. Bathrooms are good too!
@PaulM6940902 · Camped on Jul 12, 2023 at Campsite #7
Nice campground. Not quite on the water and sites aren’t too private but nice and a good location.
@DavidP3257927 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #Single S&P
Great hosts, plenty of firewood, site was level and well maintained, trees nearby were perfect for a hammock setup. Access to the lake including boat launch was very convenient.

We've been camping here every year for 30+ years. It is disappointing to see things in disrepair.
@JessicaD400413 · Camped on Jul 8, 2023 at Campsite #20
Second time staying here and just as lovely as before. Came during a weekend so was pretty busy but not terrible. Campground host did not seem to care about noise/ generators running past 10 pm even though there are quiet hour signs. Kept the bathrooms as clean as they could be.
@JenniferN22326 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #1
Very busy campground due to the lake being right there but even over the July 4th weekend it wasn’t too noisy. The loop we were in wasn’t as busy as the main drag which led to the lake. Some spots were pretty private while others were jammed packed. Outhouses were not terrible. Spot 1 was tight to get a 28ft fifth wheel in and unlevel enough to require 3 blocks on passenger side to keep wheels from getting off ground when leveled. Which in turn made the bottom step into the camper 2 feet off the ground.

Clean and beautiful camp ground
@AndrewM2888517 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #9
This site is not lakefront even though it says so in description. Plus if you look on campground map it is on other side of campground road away from the water.
@ShaneL2966506 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #10
We loved the site we had, lots of privacy. Access to the lake was great, kids had fun. Campstore nearby which was helpful. Only downside is that there is a lot of road noise, like semi jake brakes all nite. Otherwise it would be perfect.
@MichaelB697476 · Camped on May 18, 2023 at Campsite #11
Camp grounds were nice and clean. Restrooms also were kept up cleaned regularly. Host was friendly as well.
@KateH4574741 · Camped on May 13, 2023 at Campsite #14
We were happy with this site. It’s very open to the site next door; the two sites almost feel like one joint campsite.
@JosephG1100021 · Camped on Aug 28, 2022 at Campsite #6
Very clean. The camp host was friendly and respectful. Camp sites not too close together.
@RenaM7957471 · Camped on Aug 26, 2022 at Campsite #23A
This is a very busy campground and when we were there, there was lots of noise late into the night due to people talking and drinking and dogs barking. It was also a bit of a hike to the restrooms. Otherwise the campground is beautiful and well maintained and near the water.
@KimG7907993 · Camped on Jul 26, 2022 at Campsite #3
Site was perfect. Restrooms were clean. Will come again!
@SusanP4870118 · Camped on Jul 21, 2022 at Campsite #20
It was super noisy at night each of the 3 nights we stayed . The camp sites are really close together and the road is very narrow. Not our favorite camp ground

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!!!
