Barrier Dam Campground

Nice and quiet

The staff were friendly and the campground was relatively clean and quite, especially for a Memorial Day weekend (the camp seemed to be about 75% booked). That said, the facility is pretty run down. The men's bathroom had a broken sink and the women's had 2 broken toilets. The showers are coin op, but there was no information about this in the booking process. after acquiring quarters, the showers were not easy to use. You have to turn the water completely off after every 3 minute quarter or it comes out as a drizzle. The second day we were there there was no hot water in the showers at all. Also there is what seems to be a permanent RV near the front that had a yappy dog that they let stay outside all night and bark. kind of rude. Over all we had a pleasant time, but a big part of that was because all of the tent sites around ours were empty, giving us some privacy. I would hate to be there if the place was packed.

The site photos and advertising are deceiving. This is a primitive camp which is not necessarily a bad thing if that is what you are expecting. The “pull through” was actually the road and more than 50’ to the electric and water hookup. Owner did relocate us to an acceptable back in spot and we enjoyed the tranquility for two nights. Plenty of room for us and our dogs to enjoy.
