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.
