Very nice. Everyone one there was very nice. Fishing was great. Best part was how laid-back the campground was.

Great campground! Fabulous spots for tent camping, tucked along the side of the hill overlooking the lake. RV spots are great too, we had spot 53 - highly recommend! It’s like a nice alcove in the campground. Bathrooms were a little smelly and felt like they could use a splash of bleach - but regardless enjoyed our time there!

We had a wonderful experience at Lake Jennings Campground! The restrooms were impressively clean and well-maintained, which is always a big plus when camping. The views of the lake are absolutely beautiful—perfect for relaxing and taking in nature. The staff and rangers were friendly and professional, with regular visits to the campsites that made us feel very safe and well looked after. Quiet hours are taken seriously here, which made it peaceful and truly family-friendly. One thing to note: there were quite a few ants and some cockroaches around, so if you're really sensitive to bugs, it might be something to consider. That said, it's nature after all, and with a little prep, it’s manageable. Overall, highly recommended for a clean, scenic, and safe camping getaway! Campsite- 46.

I went camping at Lake Jennings with my fiance and her family and it was excellent. The campground is cleaned and well maintained. The community showers were hot and clean and private. I've been to this campground before but it seems much improved. I went fishing on the shore and despite the limited access points, I managed to catch a nice trout even though the fishing was slow at that time. I caught a decent bass that was spawning that I released. The full moon was incredible.
