Great summer time camping when the lake is full pool.

Wow!  What a great little campground. It is maintained very well.  There is a great little playground for little ones. Easy access to fishing and water sports when the lake is up. When the lake is down, explore the lake bottoms. Sites on the back side of the loop are spaced out much more nicely than those on the front.  All sites have a parking spot. No sewer hookup but the dump site is really close.  

There are two pull through ADA sites.  This is a hidden gem!

How did I not know this was here?

Great place for friends and family to camp out doors

Beautiful place to camp

This campground is on Sardis Lake, but is off the beaten path from everything else. The campground is old, but the sites are roomy. Some are shaded and some are in the sun. 

There is a playground and a large open field in the middle for games, sports activities, dogs to run, etc.

The bathhouse isn’t the worst I have seen. It gets the job done, but the floor in the shower area seems to be falling apart. 

Off the beaten path

Nice weekend, great weather, few bugs. The bathrooms were decent for campground bathrooms. Plenty of firewood to forage. Campsite was relatively clean. Neighbors were very close and made it hard to feel like I had any privacy. 

I ended up leaving early because of a creepy experience with a man who made me feel uncomfortable…even unsafe. Crappy ending to an otherwise great weekend. 

Creepy Experience 

Small, quiet campground on reservoir. Plenty of space and privacy between sites. Concrete pad was level and ample. Any size rig could fit into these sites. Each site has its own garbage cans. Water and electric at each site. Dump station in campground. Verizon signal was good. Bathrooms had prison style toilets and showers were functional but dirty. Showers were in dire need of repair to floor and deep cleaning.  Bathrooms were maintained daily but not adequately cleaned. No soap in bathroom, only air dryer for hands, no paper towels, no garbage can in bathrooms.  There were  unattended dogs on leashes/in crates at a couple of sites that barked aggressively when people passed by. Owners were absent for good part of day.  Nearby lake access road passes right by campground is routinely used by locals.  Not staffed by COE official.
