A beautiful little lake in a lovely wooded environment. Campsites are close together, with one or two exceptions, which makes it less than ideal when your neighbor is running his RV generator most of the morning. If not for that I would give 5 stars. What could have been a great experience was reduced to a good one. Still, this place is worth a visit.

First, we loved the area. Beautiful; however when we arrived our name was not on any posts. Campground host was away. We managed to find someone named Sheila that told us to take site 25 but we had a tent only. The people in 22 had their name on both sites. They graciously told us to use the tent pad at their site, which we did. We used site 25 for our car and cooking site and used 22 for sleeping. Annoying to say the least. Luckily there were some amazingly gracious and helpful campers and the gorgeous scenery which saved the day. But I would have like the campground hosts when they did return to come check on us, which they did not. First time this has happened in all our camping experiences and we are just grateful for such friendly campers who made it seem ok.

One of our favorite places to camp. But, even thought the sign clearly say no atvs allowed through the campground, they are ignored. In years past the atvers were more respectful of the campers and parked in the provided atv parking lot. Also, the current camp hosts have a cat that wanders through the sites. It adopted us, and we could not stop it from visiting us at every opportunity. We still really enjoy this campground.

This is our group's favorite campground. The camp hosts are wonderful and really keep the place clean and under control.

Loved the campground and the lake. The host (name not known) was less than friendly and on the border of harassing us. He asked where we intended to dump our porta potty and I said in the toilet. He was very concerned about that as others had left a mess. He made us feel uncomfortable.
He came back the next day and accused us of making a mess in the bathroom. I said we hadn't been to the toilet and would not use it because of covid. Since some campgrounds now use the new concessioner (not Recreation Resource Management) campground management has suffered.

We typically love going to O'haver, but our experience this past year was awful. The camp hosts gave away our site and our friend's site. When we pulled up someone was in our spot, and they told us they "paid the camp host cash." When we went to the host, they were very rude; especially the female spouse. Instead of being kind and supportive because we drove two hours to get to our site, she was very defensive, and when I reminded her that she should focus on being nice to her customers, she stated, "well we should have nice customers." We ended up parking in the parking lot overnight until we could work something out in the morning. Ended up that the local Park Ranger came and apologized and refunded us some of our money. They found us a different site we could move to later in the day. While our dogs were on leashes, the camp host watched us like hawks and told us to have our dogs on leashes....and we did. They just couldn't see the leashes from where they were so they assumed we were breaking the rules. And when we walked around the campground, there were four dogs off leash, and they never approached those families. The dogs were off leash pretty much the entire weekend. It was clear to us the camp hosts were giving away sites to their friends or locals if you didn't arrive by 2 pm, and pocketing the money. We've never had an issue at any of the federal campsites like this before. Life happens and sometimes you arrive a few hours late, but never to our site being given away. The female host needs some courses and education on customer service and conflict resolution. And three people in our group were disabled vets. We have disabled vet license plates. And yet she continued to be very rude. We love O'haver, but if the hosts from last year are there again, we will never go back. What a shame. Such a beautiful, peaceful location.
