Lake Carl Blackwell — Reviews

Always a nice place to camp.

Always enjoy our stay at LCB

It was so peaceful. Loved seeing all the deer and the fishing was so fun. I would definitely camp here again.

NO SHADE!

We loved our spot (25), right on the water. The camping is rustic but when we visited it was peaceful and beautiful. We have AT&T and Starlink and had no difficulty with connections. We are self-contained so can't say anything about the restrooms/showers.

This used to be our go-to campground for a quick weekend getaway, but unfortunately it’s gone downhill. The rising costs, the elimination of camping credits, and the added “lock site” fee (or they may move you if you don’t pay it) have really taken away from the experience. The biggest issue, though, is the condition of the campsites. Many of them aren’t maintained well, and it’s incredibly difficult to level a camper. Some sites have three different elevations—it practically takes an engineering degree to get everything level. We have a lot of great memories here, but with the higher prices and declining quality, it’s becoming hard to justify coming back.

Remote control for AC unit was very difficult to find and set at 55 degrees; we FROZE the first night and thankfully found it the second day there. Also, the shower drain was a little scary; almost like a manhole cover. Otherwise, I enjoyed the cabin and the kitchenette was nice. All the linens were very nice as well.

Bathrooms at the dump station are not clean and in disrepair. Don't know who monitors the cleaning and up keep but they aren't keeping up with their responsibilities.

Gnat infested! So many gnats, other than that really good 👍

The campsite was very clean and quiet. My only complaint is that I wish the campsite were a bit more level for the travel trailer.

We always love staying at LCB. The campsites are well maintained and always clean. One of the best things is the store and the guys that run it. Always making improvements and adding things.

The grounds were beautifully maintained. Excellent access.

The spot had no trees, and even though there were empty spots we were not allowed to switch. The shower/bathroom had no hand soap the whole time we were there, even tho a worker came in and said, “They still haven’t filled these, oh that’s ok, I have some in my truck.” Went and got some for herself. I saw her at the bathroom three more times over the days we were there, and still no soap. Why didn’t she just fill it? Water in men’s showers was lukewarm at best. The water was murky and red, understandable, but not pleasant. I used to love this place , but the sites are on top of each other and just not up to other campgrounds. Will choose the other one in town next time. Nicer secluded sights, better reviews.

Rain was forecast for the entire weekend, so we didn't go. It was too late to receive a refund.
