"Reviewers overwhelmingly praise Campground as a well‑maintained, newly renovated lakefront park with clean facilities, friendly/visible hosts, and quiet, family‑friendly campsites. Guests highlight great wildlife viewing (especially birds and cranes), good fishing opportunities and a pleasant lakefront vibe, though reviewers also note occasional flooding and limited on‑site activities beyond camping and boating."
