The campsite was very well maintained, and the restrooms were clean. The managers were very friendly and helpful. The access to the Angel Falls trail was a perk. As people who live in the city, we were excited for a quiet, relaxing time and all the wonderful aspects of sleeping in nature, but instead we got back home very sleepy because the people next door kept us awake late at night. It would be wonderful if someone could enforce the quiet hours. I would camp there again, as it was very beautiful, and hopefully next time our time doesn't align with loud people next to us.

Easy check-in, stayed in several sites and all are clean, large, everything works. Restrooms are large and clean. Location is great for kayaking and many restaurants and stores only minutes away if needed.

Beautiful site. Wonderful weather but no water for consumption. The whole park had no water We arrived on Saturday and water was restored late on Monday after being out since Tuesday. We had to cut our stay short.

My husband, my dogs, and me had an amazing time here. Our site was close to the bath house, and private. I loved that there was the angel falls hike so close, and that the lake access was a 30 minute walk through the woods. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The water and electric hookups made camping comfortable. The bathhouse was always very clean, it’s obvious they clean it daily

I've stayed at this campground several times before. It's centrally located to many of the activities I do. This trip was less than ideal due to the water outage on Loop 2 requiring me to drive to Loop 1 for shower, water and bathroom facilities. I know these things happen without prior warning so not much to do about it but adjust. They did offer a full refund but I wanted to stay despite the inconvenience.

Management not friendly. Also, they should have let campers know before they set up that there was no water at the sites where it was provided at the sites. I had no water for 4 days that I was there.
