Bastendorff is a large campground located up the hill from Bastendorff beach. The spaces were close together and we appreciated having bushes and trees between us and 2/3 of our neighbors to help with the illusion of separation. We were lucky to get a spot with water and electric. It was easy to maneuver our rig in and out of our spot (71). Across the street from us, a group had reserved several sites together and their kids were able to ride their bikes and run, which was fun to watch. Apparently if you reserve six sites in the group reservation loop, you get the whole loop.

The playground is in rough shape, but the other facilities we saw did not appear to be in bad condition. The campground is super dog friendly and there were lots of them! Some campers weren’t great about the leash rule, and if you’re not a dog person I would be aware of that. We picked up some poop in our site that didn’t come from us or our toddler.

The folks using the campground seemed mostly chill with some oddballs. Someone did cut their hair and left it in our campsite while we were out for the day.

The camp hosts were friendly and the dump station worked well. Something great about this county campground is that we were able to have a real campfire.
