ScoutThere’s no electricity and no where in walking distance and the internet isn’t great, and at night u hear raccoons in the trash cans. If you come here bring a portable phone charger. There’s really nothing here, and the bathrooms are disgusting
ScoutWe just bought our first RV and couldn’t ask for a better first time experience!!! Lori and Fred were absolutely awesome. Great clean facilities and pool. Lots of new upgrades and updates. Gorgeous creek and pond and an absolutely amazing set of neighbors! I loved it there and will absolutely be going back!
ScoutThe park is beautiful, unlevel shade sites; is challenging to get the trailer level. unfortunately, the bathhouses are neglected, dark and full of mildew inside the showers. The park really needs to upgrade the bathhouses. The park itself is very nice and offers a lot of opportunities for outdoor exploration and hiking.
GuideThis is more a campground for RVs then tents or even roof top tents. Place is clean and the sites 90% of them are in the open. Very little shade. Travis runs the place and very nice and accommodating. Fire wood is 20 dollars for a massive amount.
ScoutSpent three nights there in August Mid-week. Was pretty quiet but was clean and nicely taken care of. No mosquitos or bugs at night. Nice walking paths. Pool, hot tub, outdoor showers all very nice.
ScoutWe love camping here. There are a few things to do, swim in the pool, mine for gem stones, they have an arcade and a playground. It’s in a wooded area near lake Arthur with a boat ramp down the Road.
ScoutA little too close together for my comfort. But very nice and relaxing area. And definitely more spread a part than commercial campgrounds.
ScoutThe campground is well kept. Sites are well spaced. There’s a large clean swim lake, also a fishing lake. Lots of deer and wildlife. Monthly rates are $550 for full 50amp hookup.
GuideStayed one night while visiting friends. The campground was nice but could use some updating. It was definitely geared more towards families with small children. The showers were interesting. In the men’s they had a pull cord and a button in the women’s. Hot water was more of a mild suggestion rather than an actual thing you got. Luke warm was a generous way of describing it. Not a bad campground if you have a reason to be in the area for a night, but I would recommend it for long stayed unless your camper is very self contained.

Night sky viewing: The dark skies at Beaver Creek State Park provide excellent stargazing opportunities away from urban light pollution.

To cap it off, we laid in our tent dozing off to the sounds of owls and coyotes!" according to a Beaver Creek review.
Water recreation options: Jefferson Lake State Park provides multiple water activities despite some seasonal limitations. "Nice hiking trails around the lake and spillway. But lately there has been no swimming because of blue green algae," mentions a camper at Jefferson Lake.
Private wooded sites: Tomlinson Run State Park in West Virginia features secluded tent areas perfect for those seeking privacy. "My girlfriend and I stayed at tent site 40... Most of the sites were pretty private and ours was probably the most private and had a lot of space since we were on the very end of the road / cul-de-sac," shares a Tomlinson Run camper.
Seasonal experiences: Campgrounds in the region offer distinctive experiences each season with fall foliage being particularly notable. "Trees are everywhere and wonderful during the fall season. We had a big night of rain and with the wind it dried up pretty quickly," notes a visitor to Tomlinson Run State Park.
Accessible wilderness: Many campgrounds provide a feeling of remoteness despite relatively close proximity to urban centers. "This is my go to spot for camping when I have to just get away from it all. It's close to home plus it is a great place to take the dog out to swim and chase geese and ducks," explains a visitor at Raccoon Creek State Park.
Limited connectivity: Cell service varies significantly by carrier and location throughout the region. "If you're on Sprint or T-mobile - there is no service," notes one camper at Raccoon Creek, while another mentions, "No phone service at all, no matter the carrier," at Austin Lake.
Water access limitations: Several campgrounds have restricted water access, particularly for RVs needing to fill tanks. "They are on a well so there is limited water and they don't allow you to fill up your on board tank. Make sure you fill up before you go!" warns a camper at Beaver Creek State Park.
Variable amenities: Facilities differ widely between campgrounds even within the same park system. "Only 5 electric sites. Very clean pit toilets. Well maintained campground. All water full up towers only have those spigots that are not threaded. Had to hold hose over spigot about 20 min to fill 35 gal," reports a Jefferson Lake visitor.
Playground proximity: Request sites near play areas for convenience with small children. "We got a site near the playground, which my 3 year old enjoyed. The campground wasn't busy and we had a lot of privacy," shares a visitor to Beaver Creek State Park.

Inflatable slides and such in the lake, hiking trials, playgrounds, all sorts of stuff," explains an Austin Lake camper.
Budget considerations: Many campgrounds charge additional fees for activities beyond basic camping. "Austin lake offers plenty of fun with the lake. Kayaking, inflatables, beach, but almost anything you want to do will cost you an additional charge. Need to use the bathhouse? Better take quarters....bc the showers are coin operated," cautions a visitor.
