Secluded, clean, peaceful place! Large sites for groups. Bathhouse was clean. A volunteer puts reservation cards on posts, we didn’t have one. He showed up on day 2 with it. Snuck up behind me and frightened me. Other than that episode it was a wonderful time.

Great place for families !! Lots if space between sites for kids. We loved it & will be back. One thing... Supposed to be a discount for seniors. Theres NOTHING online about it. Always stuck paying full price at Saylorville when we reserve online , multiple times now... Probably so many times that we should have a FREE night owed to us. Other than that , it was a fun time.

Nice campgrounds, bathroom was clean. Nice playground for kids. Most camping spots were very spacious.

🤔 So, they fail to mention the standard electric plug on site 8 is blocked and doesn't work, yet charge $22 per night. It's a gorgeous spot though, not worth $22 if you're staying in a tent like we are. I wish we would've swung out and checked it sooner. Probably a mix up on my part! Keep this in mind. 🙃

Great alcohol-free park. Tent sites are spread out in wooded hollows. 3 nice bath houses well maintained & cleaned frequently. Some camper sites have concrete pads. Lots of volunteers and corp workers maintain well. Must reserve spot
