We stayed here due to it’s proximity to the Wolf River Campground tubing(which was already booked solid for its campsites). We normally enjoy very rustic camping; no bathroom/showers and hand-pump water, but knew going in this should be more modern. Per the advertizing of ‘toilets, showers, and running water’ — for the tent sites, the running water was too far away to walk to, we had to drive our car to go get water. The toilets, ugh… digging a hole in the ground myself would have been much more appealling. The bathrooms were a toilet seat(smeared with human excrement, that was never cleaned) over a hole in the ground. There were spiders everywhere and there was about a 10 foot radius around the toilets that had a very strong sewage smell — I don’t have a weak stomach, but another girl was not fairing too well with the putrid smell. My boyfriend said the men’s was so full that the toilet«water» was splashing up and out of the basis upon use. The tent site itself was okay. It was a very large area and the sites are spread apart further than expected. The trees are all very old and very tall and provide a ton of shade, but due to their age(as cute as it does look) do not provide much mid-growth privacy/seperation from the other sites. But there is enough seperation. The picnic table provided was soggy, not from rain, but from age and mold and moss. The fire pit was quite small(like 1.5 foot diameter), but definitely usable. Get wood outside of the campground; cheaper and dryer and burns better. Despite a «midnight quiet rule», it was impossible to sleep due to the noise from other campers — particularly the campers from the permanent sites which found it an excellent idea to not disturb their other permanent site neighbors with their antics, but to keep all the tent campers up all night. There was loud golf cart engines, people screaming, lights flashing until 4−5am, just before dawn.(The permanent site campers were the only ones with golf carts, which is where i draw the conclusion that it was from them.) They were driving the golf carts & screaming & shiny the tents in the tent section(into the tents, probably by accident, I hope) all night making sleep impossible. And don’t take that lightly, I am a mid-20 year old that was there to drink & party on the tubing trip and easily sleeps through thunderstorms, but sleeping through this and putting up with this was horrible! We will not be returning here.

Visited here for the first time today, and I just wasn’t feeling it. The lake itself is nice, with a sandy bottom, and a small sand beach. The rest of the beach area was grass, and a little too buggy for me. The bathroom was fairly clean, but you had to pay $ 2 if you wanted to take a shower. That’s more than it costs to get into the beach area! The beach is $ 1.50 for everyone over 5 yrs old. But while sitting in my beach chair, I couldn’t escape the greasy fryer smell of the bar directly behind us. It was a little sickening, especially since it was so hot out. The camping area didn’t look that impressive, either. There’s so many nice beaches and campgrounds in the area, I don’t think I’d come back here.
