I love site #79. No electricity or water. So close to the water so kids can play in it non stop. Not much shade. Great place to fish, swim, kayak right off your site. 2 of 3 women's showers broken - one had standing water, the other had caution tape.

I have been coming here all my life . I'm now bringing my grandchildren here. Up until this past year the facilities have been wonderful. The trees were destroyed by a disease but they did plant trees which is really nice especially in the back areas where people tent camp near the water. They really needed shade. It will be nice for my grandchildren in the future. This year 2024 the facility has really been run down. There are three shower houses. One house has trouble with the shower head and mold. The other shower house only one shower working. Bugs are everywhere all the time. I understand that people leave the doors open. There is very little ventilation so the shower house gets hot. The cleaning crew could do some high dusting, Wipe the walls and cleaning the corners of the stalls down. The third shower house I don't know much about because I haven't used it this year yet. I have two more trips planned this year. I will be using it then. The camp sites are overgrown with weeds and poison ivy. I don't believe they have been spraying for bugs either . We now have to check out one hour sooner than the years before. It's sad to write this review because in the past I have given Five Stars . I'm happy that I still enjoy the lake but the lake has been low most of the year. The beach is not open at North Fork. The beach at Axtell is limited. It is so sad 😭. It breaks my heart ❤️ the only good thing that I really enjoy with my family and want my grandkids to experience is falling apart.

We love camping here! There is a beach that the kids love swimming at right by the front sites. It’s beautiful to watch the sun set over the water and lots of paved roads in the campground to go bike riding. We go every summer!

Hubbington and I, had a wonderful time at Axtel this weekend. The weather was perfect, the scenery was amazing and it was quiet. Also, our dog had a wonderful experience for her first time camping.

We have been camping at Axtel for years and we have been pleased with the facility until the last time we were there which was Memorial weekend! The restroom did not have soap in the dispenser the entire time we were there, most of the stalls ran out of toilet paper and I never saw anyone come and clean the restroom at all! The campsites need more gravel on them, that weekend it rained a lot and our campsite was muddy! In the past Axtel has always been our favorite campground at Rough River but if things don't improve, we will have to look elsewhere!

It was a very nice place. With the severe storms that came through, the water level was up extremely and they gave proper notification of closed lots so people had time to move sites. The campground was clean and lots were in good shape upon check-in.
