Quiet, clean and well maintained. No smoking and no alcohol. Very restful and on a beautiful lake. Dogs welcome and all of the owners kept them on leash.

Stayed here during bohemia mining days in cottage grove. Great campsites with lots of room, flat ground for tents and ample shade. Water fountains and faucets near all the sites. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked (bring your own soap!). This is an alcohol free camp which made for a quiet kid friendly environment.

All the complaints about this location are alcohol related, but the reservations page clearly states that it is a Corp of Engineer facility and Alcohol is Prohibited and you actually have to check the box that you have read and agree to the rules. We stayed in site 25. Nice site with lots of space. Has a root bump in the pavement pad, but it actually leveled us on that side. It is a back in lake front and perfect for getting out personal pontoon boats to the water.

Go here if you don't want to have fun. Park ranger was very rude and forced me to dump out alcohol in front of him, felt slightly belittling. He was constantly watching and monitoring us, and sneaking around in the dark. Dudes definitely on his high horse. You will have no privacy

We stayed from Friday to Monday. Sunday night the campground was almost empty. A group of local kids showed up. They rented the spot right across from up. They started out with 2 tents and 2 cars and as soon as the ranger made the last sweep, more cars and more kids. It’s Midnight. No one enforcing quiet time and they are loud and cussing constantly. I believe drunk and underage. Called sheriff. They didn’t come out Friday and Saturday were great tonight sucks.

Very quite and relaxing. The park is designed so you feel as close to nature as possible and still have some modern comforts. The staff is very personable and helpful. Like other COE grounds I've stayed at in the past, this one has the exactly atmosphere I'm looking for. I will definitely stay here again :)
