This place is a very spacious campground with electric hookups at most of the camping spots. The bathrooms are spotless and the grounds are kept immaculate. Nightime quiet hours are enforced so that everyone can enjoy themselves. There are trails to hike and animals everywhere. There is a dumping station at the front gate. It's an ideal setting for a family to have a reunion. The prices run $30-$50/night, pretty much the standard for state run campgrounds. I give five stars to only the best, so this campground is pretty darn good!

Overall we enjoyed the experience. Campground is very well kept, clean and good size. Showers might be a bit far depending on the campsite you’re staying. We stayed in campsite 77 which has lots of shade and space. The next campsite to one side is covered by trees/bushes so you have privacy but the other side not so much. Lots of yellow jackets which was annoying every time we cooked/ate, so bring something to deter them from coming to you. Also the campsite is pretty hilly which worried me a little since I have a 20 month old. Other than that we really liked it and will go back another time to a different, flatter campsite. :)

We have been coming to this campground for years and have loved all it has to offer. The only issue we had this time were the yellow jackets bothering us each time we made food on site #11. We were here in June on the same site and there were no bees. Is July the season in which they come out?

Beautifully maintained campgrounds. Restrooms were surprisingly well kept and clean. The only major concern were the abundance of yellow jackets overtaking campsite #52. Probably a good idea to bring some type deterrent for yellow jackets in particular.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Is it worthwhile to bring bikes for kids to ride around the campsites? Are the campground roads bike friendly?

TinaandAlfred Chang | Aug 27, 2020
Loni Cuatt | Aug 27, 2020

I think it would depend on the age of your kids, there were lots of kids in bikes and scooters. But it had me very worried because sometimes the cars drove too fast and the roads twist and turn with blind corners. Maybe I'm too protective but I wouldn't let my child ride in those conditions...

Terri Agostino | Aug 27, 2020
Jose Hernandez | Aug 27, 2020

Depends where you're coming from. Most use hwy 18 but that's a somewhat steep and twisty road. I went up hwy 138 which is also twisty and a little less steep, but also much less traffic so i was able to take my time driving up. If you're towing a long trailer i wouldn't suggest the 138. Definitely take the 18.

Christopher Donaldson | Aug 28, 2018

Probably. The camp hosts are very nice and would probably allow you to drive through the campground to get an idea of it. Alternately, you could go on campsitephotos dot com and review Dogwood campsites that way.

How much do we have to pay for night? Can more than 50 people go?

katerin lima | Aug 28, 2018
Lord Rat | Aug 28, 2018

Single (8 people) site $32.50, Holiday single $34.50. Double (16 people) Site $63.50  Holiday double $67.50. Single site with hook up $42.50. Holiday single site with hook up $44.50. Camping fee includes entry for 1 vehicle. Extra vehicle fee $5 per night. RV dump $10 you would need several sites, I don't recomend this site for that many people. Find a group campground that can handle more than 50 people.

is there a place to swim?

katerin lima | Aug 28, 2018
