Tent Eclipse! On the lake

Great place for camping and rv, especially if you have a boat. There’s a boat ramp half a minute from the campground. Look’s like the owner is making a lot of improvements; I can’t wait to come back.

Tent Eclipse! On the lake

Nice spot with friendly and attentive hosts. There was only a single toilet/shower combo, which lead to fairly long lines with how many people were there to watch the 2024 eclipse, however it probably wouldn't be bad if visiting when there isn't a large event like that.

Tent Eclipse! On the lake

The directions were clear and we received an immediate response to questions. The tent camping was next to tge water which was nice.

Tent Eclipse! On the lake

Relaxing Lake Adjacent Camping

The property was spacious and easy to find. The pavilion over the water was lovely and lake access was super easy and convenient. There is only one bathroom which shouldn’t be an issue under normal circumstances (we were there for the eclipse). The host was very friendly and answered questions quickly. Would stay again!

Tent Eclipse! On the lake

Beautiful - but camper beware

Pros: The campsite is beautiful and right on Lake Atkins. We were in a wide open field and it was perfect for the solar eclipse. Cons: The advertised - electricity, water, toilets and showers - were basically non-existent. There was an unfinished building with ONE shower and ONE toilet in ONE room. This for at minimum 200 people. There was no host to check anyone in, just a sign that said to pick a spot. I think there maybe were electric hookups for camper vans, but I’m not sure since we were camping with a tent. There was free firewood, but no designated spots to make a fire. Had we known this we would have packed our solo stove. No tables either. We were literally in a field. Which brings me to the last point - I reached out to the campsite host on Hipcamp early on to inquire about our designated site. He never got back. If we would have known some of the amenities would not actually be available due to the sheer volume of people we would have brought the necessary items.

Tent Eclipse! On the lake

I camped here with 2 friends to experience the 2024 solar eclipse, and we all had a great time! There was plenty of room for us to pull in and set up our tents, and Bradley was very responsive and accommodating when booking. There was one flush toilet on the property which resulted in long lines the morning of the eclipse, but this is probably not an issue on most other days. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend this campsite!
