We had a great time at this park. Site was big enough for our 35 ft class A with our 25 ft toad trailer. Having the dump station and fresh water fill on the way in was very convenient.

Had site #S48 Electric reserved in Bass Loop. Have been to several other Cheq Nat. Forest CG's and had really high expectations for this one. The roads coming in and though out the camping loops are paved which is nice but the loop roads are narrow with significant ditches and the entrance to the site was very narrow. The site was good sized with ample space for some dog stakeouts, screen porch, etc. Most of the forest is extremely mature throughout which results in very little ground cover, good for breeze and keeping mosquitos away but reduces the amount of privacy. The traffic, noise and chainsaw use -was very high for a Thurs afternoon / Fri morning along with the camp hosts driving around golf carts/SxS's quite a lot. There are 4 host in the campgrounds, I have never seen that many in a NF campground before. With that many I expected more control of rules and overall cleaner. We moved to a non-electric site, in the Beaver Loop which had direct access to the lake and a significant amount of privacy but cost more than the electric site? That site was large, close to the lake, good view and decent shoreline access but was dirty with lots of wrappers/scraps on ground. We were unable to process an on-line cancellation on Recreation.gov for the remainder of our original site due to poor / fair cell signal. Not a huge deal. The negative of the non-electric sites is the high usage of generators, several hours per day and even after quiet time (10pm), which the hosts should control? Some other NF campgrounds only allow generators for 2 hours at a time 2x per day, personally I believe they should not be allowed. Nothing like listening to generators all day!! Bathrooms on non-electric loop much cleaner than electric...less people?? They are decent with flush toilets and coin showers. Overall disappointed, below expectations, lake is awesome!

Sites were big and level but fairly open. One beach was covered in weeds waist high but other seemed nice. No real hiking trails in campground

This campground was quiet and off the beaten path. Camp hosts, Terry and Sue, were very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were fairly clean and showers were hot but kind of expensive at $1 a token to get 5 minutes or $2 to get 10 minutes. Not much in the way of activities so bring bikes, fishing poles, or kayaks. Overall it was a great experience and we would come back.

ADA/wheelchair-accessible restrooms and showers would be a great asset to this campground. Otherwise, it was a good place to spend a night. Some sites vary greatly by size - read the descriptions before booking.

We liked the campground enough that we are considering returning to it.

Very nice campground. Having paved roads all the way thru to the campsite was nice. Electricity was a nice surprise. Having a fill and dump station was very convenient. Didn't get a chance to enjoy the park and, it was pouring rain the whole time.
