Oak Point Campground

Good facilities, beautiful area/lake. It has minimal cell signal but was able to handle a few emails that were too urgent to wait.

Great amenities beast place so far! Only thing I'd get your ice and fire wood before hand about 3 x the price. Other than that great place close to a couple hiking places and beach swimming on site.

I will first write my review as if there wasn't an extremely loud group over in the group camping area there the first weekend in June 2022 disturbing the peace. (We stayed in the tent area sites 36-60 no hookups) Pros: Beautiful sites in a diverse lovely forest. Sites are well kept and the hosts that were there were great and helped us pick a great site (for the first night anyway). Cons: 1. As others have said, the larger shower building (near entrance) has only cold showers. I am not sure why you would make a nice shower building and have only cold showers? Never have taken an ice shower before, but I had no other choice (so I thought). Turns out the smaller showers by the tent sites (by site 55 I think) do have warm water. Heard a girl the next day say it was too hot :) 2. Wood sold at the campground was un-burnable. Bought fire-starters while we were out. Ended up going north a bit on 145, just off the road to buy wood that would burn. We planned to stay 3 nights but left one day early because the loud group at the group area was unbearable. (Separate campground entrance but adjacent.) We figured they were there for the whole weekend. I had a lovely time the first day or two relaxing and enjoying peaceful nature. I added at least 20 birds to my Merlin Bird ID app list. Then came Friday. It was intermittent loud amplified music/singing for most of the afternoon followed by a couple of hours of constant stressful loud shouting. Yes, it ended by ten pm, but still... We came for nature, and ended up forcefully listening to a loud event that we did not sign up for. That event should be taken to a private event space, not a US National Forest. The camp hosts were gracious and I think someone was going to talk to the group, but we made the decision to move on. We stayed in Giant City State Park, which was more crowded and less private, but much quieter (weirdly).
