Nice CoE campground
Always a pleasant stay at Bolding Mill. Site 11 is tight and you will scrap backing in and leaving because of the incline. Acorns falling from the trees will try and take you out of your not careful. Only thing I hate is that they lock the gates for both inbound and outbound at night.

Run down and neglected
We have camped here many times and was totally shocked at what condition the campground was in. Grass not mowed, trash left on campsites for a week. There was also a very unsafe situation where homeless people would move from site to site and leave a trail of trash behind them. The host were extremely nice but also frustrated by what the COE is doing to the campgrounds.
Nice COE campground
Short visit for the weekend but very nice campground. Gate attendants were very friendly. Facilities were standard but clean. Dump station was closed. Overall would deft recommend and be back.
