The camp host was very nice and we saw him every day. However, the water and bathrooms are an issue. Either reduce the cost or fix the water issue. Or, shut down the campsite altogether. Nobody likes a "blue house" to use for a restroom. How can you manage a campsite without water?

No water and no flush toilets, other than that the campground is in good shape.

The campgrounds themselves were great. It was really peaceful and quiet (we went during off season). It is a wonderful place to just hang out, enjoy nature and de-stress. Other campers were courteous and respectful.
However, a few of the reasons we booked East Meadow Campground was for the hiking, potable water and flush toilets (amenities my wife enjoys). While there is a banner on the webpage informing people that there is a temporary water outage, there was nothing in the confirmation email other than head back to the recreation.gov website for more information. Its not a big issue, just something that could be improved - add outages or warnings in the confirmation email body.
Hiking trails within the campground were non-existant or at least the signage for them did not exist. It would be great if some hiking signs were posted in the campgrounds or on the road leading to the campgrounds.
It was just my wife, our dog and myself but this would be a great place to be for a few days with another couple or larger group of people, especially if you enjoy being on the water.
