Birthday weekend

Lake was wonderful. They have lifeguards during the summer. There’s a small hiking trail from krul to bear lake. Clean bathrooms. Camp sites were clean and decently spaced apart. Campgrounds hosts were extremely kind and helpful.

Isolated

I am not sure if we had reserved our campsite before the official season began or not, but it seemed like a dead park to me. The lake had been drained, we were the only reserved site in our loop, and they were constantly cutting trees down around the property. The camp hosts no longer sell firewood, although there is a small market off the highway that does sell pretty decent wood bundles. The bathrooms do seem to get cleaned, although upon our arrival none of the four on our loop had been. Being practically the only ones there, it was nice to use a bathroom to dry personal supplies. Not a bad experience was had, but I do not think I would pay to visit Krul Lake again.

Love this place

We've never camped here, but have been numerous times swimming and walking trails. The water is beautiful and nice and cool. It does tend to get pretty dang crowded and not alot of parent supervision. Had kids jumping off the pier on out heads, a little boy learning to swim jumped into the deep luckily we were there and got him on the dock and a parent finally came. Best when it's not packed out. Will be camping here real soon.

A nice, shady campground for families looking to swim or hike.

A cool spring fed swimming hole centers 2 camping loops. Be forewarned-locals do not provide a serene experience for those that lack patience with others. While pets are not allowed, don't expect a lower noise level. I've been a dozen times and half of them I'd rather hear dogs barking than loud country music, redneck battle cries, and country parents scolding screaming kids. Not that there's much parenting, just shouting. It's a great place, but it's no vacation for seniors or someone looking for a quiet spot. There's a great hiking trail. The bath houses are clean but very dated like most state facilities.
