Reviews of Lake Fool hollow lake

Second time I've stayed at this campground. The facilities are wonderful! All paved camping loop with level concrete pads and full hookups in the loop I camped. The restrooms are private, single rooms some with shower, sink, toilet AND heaters!!!! Met many of the rangers and campground workers. Everyone was very pleasant, helpful and professional. The grounds were immaculate, and someone had set up a Christmas light display at the entrance to my loop. They were in the process of roadwork and grounds maintenance, but that did not impact our stay. 👍🏼 I'll definitely be returning!

Warning: THEY LOCK THE GATE AT 8:30 PM AND DO NOT PROVIDE THE CODE TO PAID RESERVED CAMPERS UNLESS YOU CALL AHEAD DURING WORK HOURS TO GET IT!!! (It’s buried in the pages of detailed rules and regulations attached to the confirmation email.) We didn’t read the fine print, arrived after 8:30 to a locked gate, ended up napping in the car on a city street and only getting to use the (very nice, private) showers after they opened the gate at 5 am. Then had to move to the day use area at 7 for breakfast because of the campfire smoke in the campground. Not fun. Arguably our fault, but I’d recommend providing the gate code with the confirmation email because stuff happens (in our case, a winter storm slowed us down on the way from UT, and it would have taken cell signal, forethought, and reading all the rules to navigate this process successfully.) Google maps doesn’t take you to the entrance (it’s on Fool Hollow, not a numbered road). The park should fix this for visitors’ convenience. Otherwise, this park is a suburban oasis, complete with a lovely lake, beautiful pine trees, good birding, and clean bathrooms. Also traffic noise, shots from hunters on adjacent forest/private land, and lots of apparently drunk drivers in the neighborhood. (About half a mile from the park entrance in the evening, we witnessed a probably fatal single car accident, a driver who didn’t even slow down passing first responders, and a carload of screaming teens.) Moral of the story: good place to visit Nature IF AND ONLY IF YOU ARRIVE BEFORE DARK and aren’t sensitive to campfire smoke. Bring binoculars to view the ospreys and kingfishers. And enjoy watching the fat squirrels.

They had a lot of rentals, bathrooms were well stocked and cleaned! Very family friendly. Great lake to bring the family!

While I do miss the days we could just pull up to the lake and pitch a tent or park the RV, for free, this is a great site for the world we live in today. The staff is very nice. The place is very clean and the site was prepped and ready. Great hikes and good fishing. Oh, the geese are a bit crazy. 🤪 LOL

Nice campgrounds. We stayed in the teal duck loop. $35 a night. Only water and AC. The grounds are well maintained with bathrooms and showers in the area. Some sites are a tough back in because of a huge curb and bend to the road, large boulders everywhere, so beware when maneuvering. It's pretty quiet, except occasional barking dogs and screaming kids. Surrounding forests is pretty dry, but all sites have fire pit rings.
