ScoutNo privacy
This site was lovely, had a trail up to deep lake (steep stairs), close access to clean water and put toilets. Unfortunately there is no privacy at all. I felt like I was camping with everyone else there! I also couldn’t find a good spot to hammock in this spot/area.
Also, firewood is more expensive around here. You cannot buy wood at the grounds, but during the day you can buy wood at the convenience store on gun lake, or support Tom’s Market and buy the wood there. There are wood stands occasionally stocked on the road to town and some gas stations had wood in town.
ScoutNice spot
Loved the weekend here. Pit toilets. Nice, large campsites. Sites were sandy, but level. Overall quiet.
TravelerCrowded with no privacy.
Other than having a flat place to set up the tent, this site was horrible.
If I wanted to camp in the open with a bunch of RV’s I would have chosen a campground with water, electricity, flush toilets and shower houses.
This campground offered the worst of both worlds. No creature comforts and absolutely no privacy or connection to nature.
It felt like camping in a parking lot!
