I reserved two adjacent sites back in December 2022, because Bolar Mountain is our favorite campground and we have been going there since the 1980's. We were under the impression that all water and waste disposal issues had been resolved and we were greatly disappointed when we arrived on June 14, 2023, and found port-a-potties set up and no shower facilities open. Furthermore, the port-a-potties were not being serviced and maintained properly and the stink was almost unbearable. One day, a USFS employee was observed poking the contents of the portable potty with a stick and then throwing the stick into the brush. On top of those issues, the camp host was AWOL and there was nowhere to purchase firewood. My wife and I were in our camper one site, so the rest of our family, who were in tents the next in site, were able to use our bathroom to a limited degree, because the gray water and black water tank filled up quickly and the dump station was also closed. An email was sent out (after we had already arrived and set up camp) that advised campers of the above issues, but there is no wifi or cellphone reception there, so we did not get the email until after we returned home on June 20, 2023.

My overall review is definitely 4 Stars. With the Marina shutdown, it does put on damper on boating and options for Ice. We have been coming to Bolar for several years. There seems to be an issue with keeping good Camp Hosts. I will say the Temp Camp Host in Loop 2 this year was amazing. Very nice and communicated well. My biggest complaint is the Reservation System. Only being able to book 1 day at a time is ridiculous. It makes it very hard to plan any time off due to the fact that you many book one day and the next could be booked by someone else.
