The place is nice and very quiet on weekdays. My only complaint is Rick who runs the place. I have not had good experiences with him. He really seems unhappy in his job. I heard him tell a good friend of mine while I was standing just feet away "... I hate managing the place".

Looking for a safe and relaxing place to enjoy the sun naturally? Needing to get away and just enjoy some time nude? Are you raising your kids to be body shame free and want a place for them to enjoy while being safe? This is the place for you and your family to visit. Great playground, fun pond and a nice restaurant to get a good meal. All while enjoying your time without clothes. Safe and friendly along with welcoming to all. Beautiful land to wander, lots of different spots to camp and a hot tub for the cool nights. So much fun and so easy to get to from anywhere in the Midwest. Highly recommend and suggest all go check out this place.
ScoutThis was a nice surprise on our way out west. We reserved site 121. Not all sites are reservable. Our site was level and we didn’t need to unhook from our 40 foot 5th wheel. Check in is at Gate 5 and you can get firewood there. It’s better to approach from the south so when you pull over on the side of the road to go to the office, you are facing north to head to Gate 1 for Summit Campground. The young woman at the office was very friendly and made a copy of the map for me since they didn’t have any to hand out. The host is on site plus a park ranger was frequently driving around to check on things. We were there on Labor Day weekend and everyone quieted down in the evening. There are nice trails to walk and a lake for fishing and for paddle boats. The sites have water and electric. They even have frisbee golf. We really enjoyed our time there and will stop again if we have the opportunity.

This park is pretty huge so make sure you know which campground you’re going to. The sites here are all shaded (at least in the Pine Grove section I was in). I was next to a large shower house that had plenty of hot water and everything was super clean. The park staff were very friendly and helped me get to the campsite I needed. Beware that if you come after 10pm, there is no way to pay for your spot so you’d have to choose a random spot and come back the next morning to pay.
The sites themselves are HUGE and some of them would accommodate the largest camping rigs you could imagine. Everything in Pine Grove is 50 amp. There are playgrounds for your kids to play in. Cell service was excellent for Verizon and AT&T. Not sure about T Mobile. 60mbps down and 16 up for AT&T.

ScoutWe’ve camped several times here and it’s always relaxing. It’s less congested than other local camping grounds and has nice activists for children (nice playgrounds, lake with beach, paddle boats). Facility is clean and park rangers are helpful and friendly
ScoutGreat staff! Helpful. Pulled out privacy tent to remedy toilet concerns. Small flies or gnats quite annoying. Pretty, quiet, lush. Would worry about mosquitoes in late summer.
ScoutSpots are close, but level. Sewage located well to rear of most campsites, so back way in. Great staff, prices are wonderful. Water is clear and tasteless so good for filling my tank.
GuideBeautiful, spacious and quiet campground. Park rangers and staff are so kind and respectful of keeping the areas cleaned up and cared for! Lots of tree shade for picnicking, hiking trails, and even a pool! Bathrooms were always stocked and cleaned, plus they have HOT SHOWERS! Woohoo! Such a wonderful time at Scott County Park! Can’t beat it! :D
