New hogan is my Favorite get-a-way for nearby enjoyment.However, the weekend crowds and homeless ruin the experience. The cost are low, which bring in the undesirables. And usually the loud, stay up late and party types. Rangers are rarely seen and understaffed, but do what the can ... which is little and never enough. IT'S not on there end, but the STATE itself. So, I cut them slack ... 60 years at this lake and every month noww for 23 months in a row. There are only a few campsites that you can keep far enough away from undesirables ... but when Friday night comes ... no place is safe ... not because of danger, but just because of the fact most people are rude and in considerate to anyone but themselves. This does not apply to everyone, but the overwhelming majority of the weekend crowd or the 40 and under crowd with uncontrolled barking dogs and partiers with loud music blasting of very undiserd noise called Music, with rude obnoxious lyrics.If you can survive through Sunday. things return to Hogan's serine peaceful self, profiding you're not cursed with a buch of homeless scanning the area. Or worse in a campsite next to you.It can be dishearting to have to put up with the lack of patrolling. And the appearance that they just are there opn the job for a paycheck... This doesn't apply to 5 of the rangers ... and there is one male ranger I refuse to talk to, if i Call the office and he answered... I just hang up --- he is worthless.Having said all this, New Hogan is a great place 20 of the 24 hours in the day, you just have no control what 240 of those remaining 4 hours are going to alter your mood, usually in a negative way.If I could avoid the weekenders, and rangers makeing mor rounds and being more proactive ... Hogan could return back to the way it was back in the late 70's befor the Marina burnt down and the State mismanagement of funds.I still love the place and still stay up to two weeks ... but weekends are always unpredictable.
