Customer Reviews
We booked campsites 56 and 57 and were both on a steep hill. All of the campsites were mostly on hills, with the exception of about 10 throughout the campground. There were very many mosquitos after the wet winter, so unfortunately, our whole group came home with mosquito bites on our faces, necks, legs, and arms despite using lots of bug spray. There are not many places to access the lake if you are looking to swim. The bathrooms were nice with flush toilets and pay showers, but could be cleaned a little more often. We did encounter many deer, saw lizards, and heard turkeys and frogs, which was cool. The camp staff were some of the nicest we've encountered and drove through very frequently. You can buy firewood at the gate, too. You Bet Road from Hwy 174 is a bit curvy, so bring your dramamine if you're prone to getting car sick.
Camp site small and on a mountain side. The view of the lake was wonderful. The tent and table areas were cut out in order to be flat enough. It was difficult to open and put away the tent and shade cover with out falling due to limited space. The dirt is red dirt and the lake is red dirt with slippery clay. However, the swimming area is flat and not slippery. The bathrooms were clean. The store and gate employees were helpful and kind. I must include that the store prices for ice cream was not overinflated! What a pleasant surprise because many camping trips the stores have been outrageous. The lake was warm enough to swim in and enjoy. The was even a rope swing.
We didn't realize there was a fire warning so no wood or charcoal. Bring propane just in case. Great staff let us cook over wood our first night we get a propane grill till the next day. They were super nice about the whole situation. Beautiful lake and great little fishing trails...needs more fishing trails and cove beach areas. Got lucky it wasn't packed sites some what close.
Only problem was noone told me I had to pay 25 cents a minute for hot water to shower. No quarters! But it is beautiful, peaceful. I would definitely go back now that I know!
Such a beautiful place to camp and have fun on the water. Pup friendly too, just bring a leash!
