Because many of the state campgrounds have been shut down due to budget cuts - Mark C and I were…read morescrambling for a campground to host our annual camping trip. We were looking for a reasonably priced campsite, that would accommodate our large group, but we also wanted a campground where we felt like we were camping. Many of the other private campgrounds we came across fit maybe 2 out of the 3 requirements but we had a hard time finding a campground were we actually would feel like we were in the woods. Luckily our diligent search led us to Peppertree Campground. After a series of questions (which was totally understandable given our group was 20+) we were able to book 3 sites that were next to each other and near the river. Upon arrival we were greeted by the owner, set up our site and enjoyed what the campground had to offer. And what they had to offer (for the price) was so much more than what we ever received at a state campground. Clean bathrooms, real showers, a river to swim and fish in, AND Wi-Fi. It was great. Some might be upset that there is no pool but the river cooled everyone off just fine! The campground does have a lot of seasonal RVs but they are mostly families and couples. We never had to worry about loud noise (other then the river). The kids loved the river, playground and the field - playing for hours while the adults relaxed themselves. We loved this campground so much that we booked for next year before we left - we found a new place to love and want to make sure we have our "spot" next year!

Watching the anglers catch trout and the variety of nesting water foul fun to watch. We even had an unexpected turn of events and needed to store our trailer on site for a week and they were kind enough to move it for us , store it and put it back on site for the following weekend at a minimal charge. One cold damp and rainy morning with a long baseball delay they built a fire for our guests and us while sat and waited to depart for the fields. We will be back it was a great experience.

I was just here this past weekend for a music festival, and this was the perfect venue for it…read more The grounds are gorgeous, with plenty of space for camping. Lots of waterfront camping space, but if you actually want to be able to sleep in on those hot summer mornings there's also lots of space in the wooded areas to camp. Everything was really clean upon arrival (as clean as it can be for being a camping area) and was kept as such throughout the weekend. Not an easy task when you have 500+ people traipsing around. There's two sets of restrooms (with running water) and the ones at the front also have 2 showers in each bathroom (mens and womens). The showers were much great, hot and good water pressure. There's also a concession area right as you arrive at the campground which carries smaller items (sunglasses, waters, etc) and are super reasonably priced. The only downfall is that you can't swim in the lake (at least not when I was there), but it's a bit murky so I'm not sure if one would want to. They do rent out paddleboats and canoes though for $50 a day with a $50 refundable deposit. There's also some pretty good fishing in the lake. One of my favorite things about this place was the fact that the owner, John, was always on hand. Interacting with patrons, making sure things were running smoothly. He really did a great job of making us feel welcomed. I'll definitely be returning next year :D

Nice hiking trails clean bathrooms/showers multiple sightings of deer, found a couple turtles . Cheap fire wood and convenient that it's only 15 minutes from essential business like food,superstores, etc. there was food and gas closer by too. Also the park ranger who I didn't catch his name but I wish I did (he wore a white hat), was super helpful and gave me his personal fishing spot nearby which was really cool and uncommon from another fisherman. I won't name his spot cause I have manners. But all around looking forward to my return in a few weeks.
