Our trip was very good. The only negative thing would be the water pressure at the bathhouse very weak for the men's and the women's side. Everything else was very good. We enjoyed our stay.

Gateperson was new, gave me a hard time about our seniors' golden pass. It was my understanding it was first my husband and myself, but he wasnt with me this trip. I reserved for two nights but only made it the second night, so the discount wasnt even realized. He sent the park ranger down, and then the next shift park ranger came down to complete the registration the attendant failed to do. It was just allot of nonsense over our pass, which I've used in other parks without a problem.

Very nice campground. the sites are a little rough, but understandable with the flooding. The noise level was a little much at 11pm. This campground needs work. We will visit again.

What a gem! We had a fantastic experience meeting with friends to camp at Salthouse Branch! It was not crowded at all and the campsites were very private. Hard to believe that more people don't know about this - especially given the state park right across the lake was completely full! Would definitely consider a return camping trip!

Associates friendly and informative. Very clean bathhouses. Blowing leaves off roads. We will be back.

Salthouse has always been one of our favorite spots to camp. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. In today's world, there are guidelines that have been developed in an effort to protect the health and well being of everyone while allowing much needed interaction. This campground provides everything needed and then some. We'll be back soon!
