After reading some of the reviews about this campground, we were hesitant about staying. I am glad we gave this campground the benefit of the doubt. First, I called and spoke to the owner about space and found out they had available spaces with water and power, and without. I said we were coming to see the fall colors. About a week before we were scheduled to leave home for this trip, the campground called and told us our timing for peak colors was going to be perfect - who does that anymore? When we arrived, we were shown the grounds and told we had a choice in where we wanted to stay - dry camp or with connections. We chose to dry camp as it backed up to the river. and we had plenty of room Our spot was well maintained, had a nice fire pit, maintained grass and picnic table. Also, the lot was fairly level and it took no time to set up. During our stay, we needed to have a part sent to us and the campground was more than helpful in coordinating the delivery and accepting our package. The owner brought it to our site as soon as we arrived from a day of exploring. Overall, our experience at Drake was excellent and we received old-school, personal attention from the first phone contact, right up to the day we left. We will plan on returning next year - the campground is very nice and the owner is delightful. Highly recommended.
