- ABAJ BDec 30, 20255.0Beautiful setting with great staff. Hostesses Jen and Mari were a pleasure to deal with. The roads are a bit rough but manageable driving slow. Huge disc golf course, great shore access. Needs maintenance but 10/10 would stay again.
- SMSusie McLeanDec 23, 20254.0Definitely needs road work. There are pot holes. Just go slow and you'll be fine. The park is huge! Lots of trees. Site H19 fit our 45ft Toy Hauler with room! Alanah was a joy to work with at the Ranger station. She was worried about us fitting in the spot assigned. She answered all of the questions we had and also gave us an alternative site in case it didn't work out. It worked out perfectly.
- MTMasamune TakahashiDec 16, 20251.0Arrived at dusk, this campground’s gate was broke on the right lane…luckily there was another camper in front of us and warned us not to follow the sign…place has no visible road markers, any lightings nor directions, many many low hanging trees and roads are horrendous with pot holes…very similar to as ran down woodsy county or state park… If I would know, I would’ve never booked it for us to arrive at dusk…. Cross country campers be aware…. Do not book this campground for one night stay thinking “it’s thousand trails park, sites must be at least leveled… Nope… It is like primitive campground experience with hookups. It could’ve been a disastrous experience. We got out of there in a hurry before cause any damages our rig… Do not arrive here dark whatsoever. Location 3 stars as 1 after dark…which means 5 in the day time…except sites are very close to each others…so 2…
- DBDevlin BDec 9, 20255.0The staff is very friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms and well stocked. We stayed twice on our trip. The first visit was in October and during First Monday flea market 30 minutes away. That place is huge. Second visit was during November and the park hosted a Thanksgiving dinner. It was good food and a chance to meet other couples. The roads are a little rough.
- PGPebbles GroveNov 22, 20255.0We came for a turn n burn, got in early enough that Trigger and I got to 2.5 mile walk around the park. We love walkin in leaves and lots of views of the lake. Sadly, it was only 1 night.
