Great place to camp and the personal we're helpful and super friendly. Spot 11 is a bit tight for a 30" camper so make sure and call if you got a larger camper.

beautiful park in a fantastic location

There could be a path from the upper campsites to the bathrooms. We dont like walking through peoples sites so its quite a walk snaking around on the roads. Also another trash receptacle near the campsites instead of just the one all the way down by the boat launch would be helpful. The only viable option is to drive down there which means you have to plan ahead before you leave or drag your trailer all the way down there. We appreciated how clean and well kept the sites were.

Always have a great time camping at Dent Acres. The facilities are always clean and well maintained. Great place for a family vacation.

Campground is awesome, fishing was great. Brand new pavement everywhere, docks were nice. Everything great except the rec.gov reservation site is misleading in how it works. ABSOLUTELY read your receipt after making reservations. It seemed clear to me that I had reserved 2 FULL days there but I came back to my camper after the second day of fishing out on the lake to find a legitimate state ticket on my window saying I refused to vacate the space by noon. And a fine for over $100. After looking over my receipt it was clear I had only reserved one day. The problem is when you go to the website and choose the days you want to stay, it blacks out those days, implying that you now have them reserved. But what it is doing is blacking out the day you are arriving and the day you are leaving. So if you choose Sat and Sunday it will black them BOTH out. But all you really did is say you want to ARRIVE on Sat and leave Sunday at noon, I guess. This was clear on the receipt I was emailed but not when I made reservations. Maybe just dumb old me, but Ill but Im not the first or last. In fact I know Im not. I had someone in my camp spot a few years ago at Chief Timothy and as it turned out the guy in it also thought he had reserved 2 days not one overnight stay. So be clear, read the receipt and then enjoy your stay. Ill be back for sure, but Ill get it right.

Although the weather didnt cooperate, our campsite was very nice. The staff we met were very friendly and welcoming. The host even offered to take our trash to the dumpster for us as we were packing up.Will stay again.

We had a great experience at Dent Acres campground. The sites were well-maintained, and we really appreciated the covered picnic tables. It was also nice to see that everyone was respectful and kept the noise levels down. One suggestion for improvement would be to clearly indicate on the website that firewood is not available for sale at the campground. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to returning next year!

At a cost of $150 per night, there should be a place to dispose of garbage closer than 4 miles away. Putting garbage in vehicles every night so the critters don't spread it around camp is not acceptable. The closest place to dispose garbage is located at the near the end of the Dent Acres boat Ramp, a slow 8 mile, 25 minute drive round trip. Hint: Assign one person in the group to be in charge of the garbage.

Very well kept up. Nice and clean. Easy access. Bathroom or showers were very nice and clean bow launch very easy to use. Very impressed with the Fish cleaning station.

30 amp breaker was broken and was not operable. The 20 amp breaker kept tripping when using electrical devices. This was discovered late afternoon Friday so nothing could be done over the weekend to fix the issue.
@michelec313111 · Camped on Jun 4, 2024 at Campsite #48
We enjoyed our visit here. The check in process was quick and easy. The sites were clean and mostly flat ( easy to level our Camper Van). I was not impressed with the showers. Communal dressing / undressing area is not my favorite and I would prefer more privacy especially since the shower area was open to the toilet are and the door ( the fabric curtain did help but it was flimsy at best). The campground itself was well maintained and quiet after hours. We enjoyed the lake access via boat.

When we arrived on our reserved date, there was another camper in our spot. Even though our name was on the sign post they refused to leave. The camp host put us in another site for the night and we didn't set up or unload until the next day. Very frustrated when I had made the reservation 6 months in advance, had my confirmation and was ready to relax. Although someone refunded the first night for us, what I really wanted was to be able to begin our vacation.

excellent accommodations!! Clean showers & bathrooms!!

This was a great place for our group camp in mid-May. Even the bugs weren't bad with only a few biting no see ums, gnats or whatever, but not enough to need repellant. The reservoir was full enough that we were able to park boats at this camp after launching them from the Dent Acres ramp a little over a mile downstream. Be prepared for changing water levels if you park your boat at the group camp. In May the water level was rising (8-12 inches/day) so our ropes were very slack in the morning. I suppose later in the summer, one should be careful not to get beached as the water level drops. Using stakes in the bank worked very well to anchor the boats overnight. For a large group, sharing the only one-hole unisex bathroom near the covered area will cause a line (or an embarrassing interruption), but there is another dual-sex/double hole (4 holes total) facility that's walkable just up the hill (you'll never make it if it's a Taco Bell type emergency). The only thing this site is missing is running potable water, but you can get refills and even a shower with a 15-minute drive or 2-mile hike to the Dent acres campsite. The gate lock can cause issues. You'll have the key, but you're best just to keep the lock with you if you're going to have multiple people coming and going as some hilarious pranksters (irritated locals?) enjoy locking the gate behind you. I found this out after I pulled the boat out at the ramp and turned the key in. Then I had to turn around and drag the boat all the way back to the hosts who provided zero help with an extra key or allowing us to check out by leaving the key at the group camp. So, we returned once again to the gate, unlocked it, finished packing out of the group camp and then took the key all the way back again. That was the only irritating and wasted 2 hours out of the 6 days we were there. The camp hosts were otherwise very helpful, accommodating and good people. All-in-all, I'll definitely try camping here again.

We stayed two nights, May 14th and 15th, a quiet time for sure, the camp host were wonderful, very clean restrooms by the boat launch, very pleased.
@GlenFD1D8AD0C5 · Camped on May 12, 2024 at Campsite #33
A very peaceful campground. We were blessed with beautiful weather, everything was green making it a wonderful week. The road in is definitely steep and curvy. We did not have any trouble.

Beautiful campground and very well taken care of
@MarkA9878568 · Camped on May 7, 2024 at Campsite #36
We paid for a week's reservation, a couple of days before going to Dent Acres. At the time there were only two spots not reserved - one was too small for our camper, so we took the only option available. Upon arrival, after a 2 hour drive, we found out there was no water available in our campsite, the whole loop was dry. The water had been out for OVER A WEEK, yet the Recreation.gov website did not reflect this, nor stop us from making the reservation. The campground has a "Volunteer Loop" for visiting volunteers consisting of nine spaces, all of which had water. The camp hosts would not let us use any of the seven empty spaces even though no vols were expected. They also told us to temporarily use a different spot even if we had to move DAILY whenever people with reservations for that spot showed up. Pretty ridiculous to completely unpack & pack up a campsite and move daily!! We were there to fish, not constantly relocate. The men working on the water problem were great and contacted the park ranger for us and she gave us permission to use an alternate volunteer spot that was not in the Vol Loop - yes, there were 2 more vol spots. If all of that wasn't bad enough, the camp hosts were actually mad at us for "going over their heads". They should've forgotten their egos, put themselves in our shoes and tried to help us in the first place!

Spent most of our time bass fishing. Dont plan on a 30 fish day, it is quality not quantity.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
