    We got incredibly lucky with this one. I read online that you didn't have to make reservations…read morebecause there were 70 pull up spots. Turns out in the high months like summer you definitely need to make reservations. Lucky for us. Somebody paid for an extra night, but drove away. The Rangers are some of the nicest I've ever met in my life. They let us have the site for free and we're friendly the entire time we were there. The space was kept incredibly clean for the amount of people that were there. And when I say amount of people that were there, I mean so many people there. This is not my jam, and I probably wouldn't return to the campground just because of the sheer velocity of other people all around us. Jampacked. I'm pretty sure at any given time you could see 10 to 15 people from your site alone. The sites did have plenty of space for a 10 and a car or multiple cars. They also had a nice set up for bath houses too. They were clean and well stocked and plentiful. We were so lucky to have a guy playing a banjo across from us and we had a nice campfire with banjo playing nearby. Bought wood from the gas station but it ended up being wet so maybe even more expensive $10 wood from this campground would've been smarter . You can walk to an amazing spot to view stars and it's a very short hike to the river. Love the nature nearby as an allowed us to get away from people want to be in the moment. Seems like people are fishing nearby.

    TLDR: Great camping spot, right next to the Art Loeb trailhead! Would definitely come back…read more BOOKING: Due to COVID-19, you must book online. You can do so on your phone if needed. Pretty easy, just need to know which site you want. The cost of each spot varies some. The people who greeted us at the entrance to give us our passes and let us in were very nice! FACILITIES: We stayed at camp spot #9, which had access to two outlets (which we didn't use), a picnic table, a fire pit. We were close to a communal a water spigot, bathrooms with flushing toilets and showers which had running water and were reasonably clean. My friends and I are used to backpacking, so this place felt like glamping! The only downsides are that you are required to pitch your tent on gravel (rather than grass) and that you can't wash pots in the bathrooms or with the water spigot because it's not connected to sewage lines.

    I am apart of a homeschool co-op and we found this campground for a group camping experience…read more When we arrived we were proudly greeted with "We are a no frills, 70s style campground." Yes, this is lol Like another reviewer said check and double check your deposit. There are no cards taken- only cash and check mailed to them. The front desk has a large reservation notebook with highlighters going all through it. We had some small issues because of their lack of technology. One family got double booked on a campsite, and one family was not reserved with their deposit. It was a confusing mix-up which Lazy J apologized for and made right. I feel like this is what camping should feel like. The tubing river was calm enough where I would let my kids, boys ages 6-10, go tube the river by themselves. Thus my husband and I didn't have to supervise or entertain them. We knew they were either tubing on the river or playing on the "beach". Which, BTW, the best spots in Lazy J are A7, A9 & A10 - these sites had access to the beach area and a nice swim hole. We were in A7 so we could see and hear them when they were playing on the beach. On the website map the river is cut off at the bottom. The river actually swings around so A3, 5 and 7 have the river behind them. Some tent sites are TINY - as in a 2 person tent, max. C3 and C4 were so small a mom had to move to a bigger site to fit her family tent. A6 and A8 are right next to each other - which would be a good option if you're camping with friends but feels awkward if you're next to a stranger. The swings are very tall which made them a lot of fun to swing on. I think the best part is going in June and you'll get to see the synchronous fireflies (if it's not raining) in the big field in front of the bathhouse. Bathhouse was clean (I didn't use the showers for our short stay) and well stocked. I think our group has found it's yearly camping spot. It was a great stay.

    Nice forested campground next to a flowing river. Stayed in a tent site for $17 with showers and…read moretrash service. Debbie at the front desk was very open to letting us choose any of the tent sites available. The only negative remark I have is that a long term resident, "Mary", approached me while talking to my spouse through the bathroom door. She was very very rude and claim she worked there but when I asked her name, she changed her mind, noting she was only a camper and "used to" run the camp. I can only imagine as to why she "used to" run the campground.
