A beautiful site. Well maintained trails and bathrooms/showers were clean.

Overflowing trash receptacles throughout the campground, Loops A and B. The trash truck needs to come more often. We were there four days starting on a Sunday, May 22 and left on Thursday the 26th. The trash was not picked up and was overflowing from the busy weekend. The campground was nearly empty during the week, thank goodness. It would have been busier had the sign down by Ocoee Lake not said it was full. Bathrooms are outdated.

A beautiful place to camp easy access. Some of the best views at the overlooks. Hiking trails and a small lake with a beach. Dogs are allowed on the trials not the beaches. Was very peaceful. Definitely will be back. Cell or WiFi is very limited if any.

A very quite and peaceful campground. Sites are not very private in loops A & B, ours had poison ivy all around it. The most beautiful sites in the other loops with more private sites do not have 30or 50 amps hookups, they are for tent campers. I would good back again.

Hosts were great. Very attentive and available. Camp sites nicely spaced and beautiful for our end of the season trip the last weekend of October. Nice hiking trails right from the campground. Negatives: inadequate signage and difficult access to the dump station. From the highway there was little warning of the entrance to the park. We had to drive by it and turn around because RV's don't slow down quickly. Second, the nice signs at the entrance to the park say turn right to the Benton Falls trailhead but no mention of the campground. No sign in the other (straight) direction. Reasoning that surely if turning right would take us to the campground the sign would say that so instead we went straight. We found ourselves heading up a dirt round too narrow to turn around on when we, fortunately, flagged down some people in trucks servicing communications equipment who told us we were in the wrong direction. We had to back up on a narrow uneven road with steep drop off on one side for probably 1/2 mile with the travel trailer to get back to the entrance sign then head towards the trailhead which evidently also happened to include the campgrounds. Had we arrived after dark or near darkness this could have ended very badly. Re dump station, we stayed in loop B with a travel trailer, ours is 23'. We learned from the hosts that we need to drive out of the park and circle around the entrance to the sign then go back into the campground to go directly to the dump station located in a different section of the camp. Otherwise, coming out of loop B one is faced with a hair pin turn to get to the dump station . It would help to have some warning about this in the handout provided and on the web site. If it was on the web site I missed it. Lastly, the restrooms for Loop B need an upgrade. Though pretty clean there is a lot old rust and the shower has a single on off timer button with no control of water temperature. We opted for the shower in our trailer.
