Loving being day use area camp hosts during our stay. The people that we work with as well as the people who come to swim, bbq and camp in the campgrounds here at beaver dam. Pictures from Memorial Day 2023.
Nice spacious camping spots. Confusing at checking in with a reservation, just go to your spot and set up, this info isn't anywhere. Nice big firepits with built on grill. Stayed in #16, highly recommended.
Campground is nice. Roads are narrow. Cell service is poor. Dog friendly. Very limited lake view. Attempted to make our way down on the trail, encountered a fairly large snake, and changed our mind.
Very clean, peaceful and beautiful campground. We had site #17 and really enjoyed 5 day staying here. We hiked the sugarcane trail and strongly recommend it. There is no check in station but the host is very helpful. The signals are weak in most of areas. At our site making phone calls without any problems, had 2 bars for T-Mobile.
