I do not recommend this campground! We were there this past weekend and while boating a neighbor informed us that the park attendants were digging through our stuff/ trash trying to find something, I guess because we were a younger group?? No alcohol was at or campsite. Other friends say in the past, while boating, the camp attendants come look in coolers/ trash and take pictures trying to get you in trouble. All our friends have moved to State Dock now because of this and we will be following, very unprofessional and not sure if its even legal? Beautiful campsite, its a shame.
This campground is super nice. The sites are for the most part right along the waters edge. Jeff the park attendant is a super nice guy and is very helpful.
We really enjoy this place.
They are always in good spirits when you come through the door. I'm not talking about the drinking kind either. Lol Good people.
Very beautiful place. The campground has a gate that they lock from 10 pm - 6am. There is also a police officer that patrols. You definitely feel safe camping there in a tent. Only problem we had was that the teenage kids that were there camping had no respect for anyone. There language was awful and there was one that would fly thru our campsites on a bike. He didn't watch out for any of the small children. But other than that it was a wonderful place to camp and we will be going back.
Do not stay here. Especially if you are younger with no kids or just young in general.
My friends and I booked this campsite for Labor Day weekend. My friends showed up alittle earlier than we did. They had beer in the bed of the truck, not knowing it wasn’t allowed. Nothing on the website says anything about the “rules”. Jeff (the park attendant) yelled at them and said they will go to federal prison for 15 years with alcohol on these grounds.
I had showed up past dark due to coming from 5 plus hours away, we were met by the gate attendant (Jeff) who was yelling that we booked a tent site but had a camper. The site said nothing about a tent online.
We had a generator but it’s against the rules “no excessive noise”. Jeff rudely said “good thing it’s not too hot”
I called the number online which was his wife Lisa, she was very rude. I wanted to ask questions about these “rules”. She said she would bring me the book of 200 plus rules that are not online.
We went ahead and set up camp the next morning after they made us sleep in the parking lot of the campground so we “wouldn’t wake any campers”.
The next day we go out on a boat, we get 2 phone calls that our dogs were barking (they were in crates outside due to not having electric)
Lisa told us rudely that was also against the “rules”.
Our trash was also torn apart and ripped down from the hook. In the middle of the day.
Seemed like someone had been rummaging through it.
Later that evening we are sitting at the campsite while Lisa drive by on her golfcart, one of our dogs barked (which is what dogs do). She slammed the breaks and told us it’s against the “rules” for dogs to be “aggressive”… he only barked.
My friends had left the grounds and came back, when we pulled up to the gate house Lisa made a comment of “you guys will know the rules by the back of your hand”
We packed up and left.
They had targeted us since we drove in, due to not knowing all of these “rules” that were only in writing at the gatehouse.
I’ve never been more disrespected, threatened and embarrassed.
We found a different site at a different campground in the middle of our stay at the obey river campground.
I will NEVER be back.
If you want to have a horrible time and have people be rude to you and harass you the whole time, this is the place for you.
