Absolutely, the worst lake experience I've ever had. I rented the Pavillion, shelter 1, for my daughter's baby shower. When we arrived, there were people there that we had to ask to leave. No signs showing reserved! The place was disgusting and infested with wasps. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting!! I had people leave due to the amount and allergies. During the shower, multiple people ( park volunteers and park rangers) harassed us on parking passes and the reservation. There were numerous people at this park that did not have a pass but they chose to harass us. I will NEVER reserve a space or visit this park again!

Rocky Branch has sentialment meaning to me. We've camped at Beaver most of my life and 60% of it was at Rocky Branch. After camping at Lost Bridge south the last 15ish years, we decided to try Rocky Branch again. Boy, we're we disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the camping sites were nice and level, but they are stacked on top of each other. The bushes are overgrown and the bathroom could use an upgrade. If the bathroom had 4 stalls with showers like Lost Bridge and toilets that flush without hitting the handle at least 3 times, it would be so much better. A water sticker at each campsite would be awesome and add a sewer to each campsite and it would perfect. The campsites are close to the water, giving a beautiful water view to almost every site. The path to the water would be much improved with the bushes were trimmed down. As it sits now, be sure and fill up your water tanks before you park. There are a few water stickers scattered around but not real convenient.

We enjoyed staying at Rocky Branch Park in mid-October. The roads and campsite drives are paved with concrete picnic tables and good firepits that you can cook on. The pit toilets are old but well-maintained. Campsites have electricity only. There were 2-3 water spigots in our loop. There is one shower house in the park, which is not located in any campground loop. The shower house was fairly new and very clean with good hot water. There were two shower stalls on each side, but no toilets so do your business before coming for a shower. We had good cellular service. The drive to Rocky Branch was on a beautiful "crooked and steep" road with historic War Eagle Mill located nearby.

Find the hidden hiking trail in the center of the park. There is a trail sign beside the bathrooms next to the water and pump area for RV's. Very cool forgotten trail with a surprise hiding in the middle. Foot path has disappeared, find your way with the tree mounted trail markers.

The lower section has been updated in recent years with new site frames and table pavilions which are very nice. The views are incredible overlooking the lake. Definitely one of my favorite sites in the area minus the no water at each site. Also only one shower house up at the entrance near the dump station. Tiny playground in the upper section. The camp host was delightful and very knowledgeable about the sites and the area. Overall 9/10, would visit again!

Can't tell you much about it because the very rude lady at the booth wanted to charge me $5 just to drive threw and look at it. First and last time I'll ever be there!

Overall clean and quiet with well-shaded and roomy sites in the pines. Wish there had been a map of the camp when we got there. Never met the hosts and still have no idea if there is a showerhouse.

Nice camp ground run by great staff. We stayed on the lake side. Lakeside sites are first come, you cannot reserve. These sites are right on the lake, you can acess lake right from your camp site. Showers and dumpsters are up on the hill. Campground has been here for a long time and starting to show some wear and tear but it is well taken care of. Quite and peaceful environment. This is a regular use for us.
