This was our3rd year in a row here. This park is one of our favorites. The facilities are always clean, staff is amazing and the park is beautiful!

The camper cabin is tucked back from the road, giving privacy, and has ample room for additional tents on the site. The facilities are kept clean and the beach is large enough to handle multiple large groups with distance between. We loved our visit and will be returning next season.

We were grossly disappointed being guests for 30+ years on this visit. Our neighbors had 4 cars; 2 tents on the grass; a large motorhome and about 12 people and 2 dogs. They locked the dogs in the camper for hours and they barked the entire time. The "hosts" Janice and her husband never did their PM loop; they would have seen the mess next to us. Our neighbors also stayed up past 2:00 am and were extremely loud. Other campers went to their site multiple times and asked them to quiet down, which lasted about 8 minutes each time. Upon check out, a guy was filling up at least a 100 or more (2) liter pop/plastic bottles with hose water and washing the back of his car, blocking a line of campers trying to check out. Good Golly, step it up people. No one around to address our concerns. Great place but if you have an emergency/issue, you're on your own.

Love camping here. We have stayed here in several different sites here with no complaints on anything. Been here twice in the last month. Clean restrooms & campsites. Nicely spaced. Free washer & dryer super plus! Camp hosts & maintenance in Sept & Oct of this year were top notch! Super friendly, available to answer any questions we had. Even though they might have been off duty they were willing to help with any needs. Very approachable staff. Being on the lake & easy fishing below the dam, clean facilities makes this campground one of our favorites. Hats off to corp campgrounds.

Stayed on 2 double sites w/ family of 16..perfect setup for 4 units. HOSTS, Tammy & Wayne are the best!
@JamesA8630934 · Camped on Sep 24, 2024 at Campsite #38
Very well maintained.
@CathyD8146931 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #46
Beautiful location. Campsites are spacious and well cared for. Campground hosts were attentive and friendly. Our stay coincided with hawk migration so we made the easy drive to Hawk Ridge one day. The campground was also close to Sax-Zim and Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge for more birding options! Really enjoyed just looking out at the beautiful water of Sandy Lake.

Wonderful trip as always!
@EDWARDS3079365 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024 at Campsite #12
Excellent location. Friendly staff. Nicest shower facilities of any campground.
@russg255E51017 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #32
Trees need trimming. There must be 15' overhead clearance along the campground road and in campsites at all times. Period. Tree limbs must not be allowed within 12" of either side of the road. Period. I am so tired of scratches to my RV, damage to my TV antenna and other things on the roof, and tears in the roof itself. When a campsite is rented it is presumed safe for the intended purpose but if the trees aren't trimmed RVs get damaged. Meet your responsibilities!
@DeborahS476998 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #T4
Beautiful location and quiet. Dark nights helped star grazing. Only issue was the mosquitos - hundreds of them and came out looking like we had small pox!

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.
@Wondering - Oregon
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.
