Campground was poorly maintained, no toilet paper in the outhouse throughout the duration of our stay. Private management company is short staffed and very rude. Nobody was around to get the campers who overstayed their reservation out of our site on our check-in day, yet Vista Recreation showed up on our checkout date to hassle us about leaving before it was even noon. Did I mention them being rude? Vista Recreation also cancelled hundreds of reservations in June and even early July because they couldn't surge resources to get the campgrounds under their management open several weeks after the snow had melted, and shut them down in mid-September long before camping season is really over. Not nearly as well run as the Hoodoo managed campgrounds.
The Point has great views of Mount Bachelor and Elk lake, but both mosquitos and camp robbers can be thick and you end up listening to highway noise all day and night. Glad we brought our own toilet solution. We ended up picking up a lot of trash in the campground left behind by other campers, and there were several off-leash dogs being set loose in the day-use boat launch area running up on and scaring our kids during the day. Water in Elk Lake is beautiful and we really enjoyed our time on the water, next time we'll probably try a different campground or just use day use access, like South Beach, where hopefully there are more families and fewer retirees stopping in just to let their dogs run amuck and destroy the banks of the beautiful lake.

Recreation.gov was excellent to work with. You made reserving a campsite easy. We have been going to Point campground for years. The Day Use area has become crowded. I get it, but it ruins the camping experience for me.
