This is a guess. We have heard wonderful things about the beautiful setting of this campground, but we could not get to it. The “Golden Road” you have to take to get there is a gravel logging road with a true washboard surface. We were looking forward to the secluded and private location of this campground, but after the connecting road from Baxter State Park Road to Golden Road, and a couple of miles on Golden Road, we were concerned about damage to our car and camper so we abandoned and went elsewhere. Also, you would have to travel that same road to get back and forth to Baxter. (If you read the kiosk sign at the The Lakes, you will see a warning about driving Golden Road.). So, this isn’t fair to the campground because the condition of the road is outside their control, but you need to be really sure you want to deal with getting there before booking a stay.
