We stayed in Bald Eagle Campground. Really nice, and lots of new full concrete pads with plenty of space between lots! There aren't many full size trees, but they've been planted. Expect good shade in a few years. Full hookups were super affordable. The people at the ranger station were very nice. They have a huge, gorgeous, rental hall.
On the down side, It was raining this weekend and there was not very good drainage. The water stood at least a couple of inches on the pad in front of our camper door and out to our vehicle. I noticed most spots had water standing somewhere, around fire rings, or anywhere there were low spots.
The hall was amazing, big enough for just about any kind of event you can imagine. But there is no kitchen or water. You have to go 50 yards next door for restrooms.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay.
Update. Be careful riding a bike in thos place officer Ricketts seems to have a problem with people and cut me off today turning left right in front of me. He slowed down at first and then gunned it and cut the corner all the way to the other lane to not hit me.......
Love to ride through on my bike or scooter and enjoy some quiet and nature. If you have a mountain bike they have some awesome trails just like the stuff you see in YouTube with the wooden challenges and obstacles and banked turns. Be sure to check out the boardwalk!
For a newer campground it has its positives and negatives.
Positive - concrete and asphalt pads make for easy leveling and a clean trailer, the full hook ups including sewer are a plus. This makes your honey happy when they can take long showers. The campground host was an extremely nice gentleman and they seem to take very good care of the grounds. But my most favorite thing was that by 9 every night all lights and stereos and noise were turned off allowing people to enjoy a quiet evening.
Negative - the only thing - we have about the whole place would be the lack of trees and close proximity to other campsites. But you give up amenities sometimes for seclusion.
All-in-all great little camp ground and we really enjoyed our time there. And they've got good mountain bike trails for riding.
