Great campsite, loud road

I loved staying here for one night and wish I could’ve been there for longer. The bathrooms are accessible, I had a beautiful spot by the water, my neighbors were friendly, the staff were welcoming. The only catch was that the road parallel to the lake is super loud and for me bothersome at night. I did not get good sleep because of this, i recommend bringing ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise and sleeping outside (i was in a tent). I don’t know how noisy it is for other spots farther away, but I would guess the sound still travels but is not as bad as having a spot along the water. Normal site are $30 per night, sites along the water are $40.

Great County Park

This is an excellent and straightforward country park. It feels like a state park.

They have hookups and also dry camping. The better spots are near the water.

Contrary to other posts, they take walkups. It is just on the website it requires 2 weeks out.

Nostalgia For Me

I grew up coming here. I’m so glad it’s still around but I’m sad the swimming holes are gone. They were the center of my childhood. My dad took us here a lot. He passed when I was 18 so everytime I come here I feel closer to him. Glad the showers are free.

Reservation needed

An empty campground, tired family and the host can't let us take a space because we don't have a reservation two weeks prior. If I could give this a zero star I would!

Free, Hot Showers.....yes please!!!

This campground is my happy place! I grew up going here, so lots of great memories. I've enjoyed showing my children all of the things I did here as a kid. Love that the showers are hot and free! You may have to push the button several times but totally worth while in my opinion! The creek is very cold but on a really hot day with a raft you can cool off. You can also rent canoes and paddle boats to get around on the water! When I was growing up they had swimming holes across the street from the campground at the day use area but they don't anymore and I find that takes away a big part of the fun. They should really consider putting them back in! Overall though, this is a great place to camp and not to far from civilization!!!

Nice

Camp ground was clean and it appears that they are planting a lot of new trees. Bathroom was clean. Peacocks are everywhere, so be prepared to a little noise. We were in campsite #17 and there was no shade.
