We loved it. Super nice people. Peaceful and beautiful area. We will be back.
We have camped twice at this great campsite and we love it! The camp hosts go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. There is a playground on one end and the shower house is always nice and clean. We look forward to our next camping trip at Carbolyn Park!
Our family really enjoyed camping out here over Labor Day weekend! The volunteers were truly wonderful, very welcoming, friendly, and kind! I love the size of the campsites and my daughter really enjoyed the playground! I’d love to see the shower house and bathroom updated and fully enclosed, but they were clean and better than nothing! Carbolyn park truly is a hidden gem, we will be back!!
Hhad a great time here ,,a really nice campground .very quiet with just a few campers. I will be camping again here
This campground was the best around. It’s still beautiful and the hosts are amazing. The only issue is this new bathroom. How in the heck is a full campground supposed to get by with 1 shower/toilet combo for each??? There are constantly lines and God forbid someone needs to use the restroom while someone is taking a shower.
