Whiskers Campground

We intended on camping at Whiskers for 2 nights, but decided to cut our trip short after one night. Here is a list of the pluses and minuses of Whiskers when we were there.

Pluses:

The campground is secluded and the sites are a good size. The sites are nicely shaded with flat spots for tents. There are trails leading down to a really nice fishing/swimming hole area.

Minuses:

The place was packed full of people. If you're looking to get away from hustle and bustle, Whiskers isn't the place to go. There were several large parties of families there - it was loud and crowded.

We were in the back of the campground in site #5 and people very rudely walked back and forth through our site to get to the water, despite other access points. Very annoying when you're chilling by your fire and people are walking through your area.

There were several dogs there and people were not controlling them. The dogs were barking loudly all day, non-stop. Super hard to relax with all the noise of constant barking.

The worst part is that people were shooting guns in the evening. Yes, in the evening after the sun set -

very irresponsible. I'm all for 2nd Amendment rights, but what they were doing was careless and dangerous. We weren't comfortable walking around with all the close gunfire. It continued for well over an hour and a half.

With all of that said, I don't think I'll return to Whiskers. The place needs more oversight if people are not going to follow the posted rules and simple camping etiquette. They ruin it for others like me who are looking to get away for a relaxing, fun weekend.
