@DAVIDJ6790409 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #42
Labor Day Weekend, with popup and tent. Good time. Believe what they say about not using steep gravel road up from Benton; we made it, but barely. Come up from Ocoee Ranger Station and see great overlooks along the paved road. Swimming and Kayaking with our own boat good in lake near campground. Trail maps and signs are a bit confusing; there are signs, but hard to tell what trail they point to. Benton Falls, a popular destination, is not even on the signs, just the various trail names and numbers. Main complaint is about no-show campers, not the fault of campground. Area was sold out for weekend, we barely got a reservation, and then found numerous empty sites. Host said yes, they are technically now available, but they don't offer them because if the person finally shows, a day late, they get cranky. Sign was posted at Ocoee saying "all sites are full." Tent area with about 20 sites was completely empty, but apparently not counted by park, as they are not reservable, but are good sites. Appeared there would always be space. Biggest rigs don't come as much because of steep road and no water-sewer hookups. There are faucets along the road, and a dump station. Some electric. Nice almost new shower houses at campground and lake.
