Lone Duck Campground

Two stars! One for very friendly staff, and the second for convenient location. I for sure would not choose to pay to stay here ever again. The tent campsites are right on top of each other. Our picnic table was right next to our neighbor site's picnic table; you can share a meal with your stranger neighbor if you wish. The stall doors in the bathroom are comically short; they were cut to about knee height when sitting on the toilet so that your junk is at risk of exposure while you're sitting on the toilet. The campground is also RIGHT off the highway so you go to sleep to loud traffic noise and wake up to it, too. It also backs right up to a residential area, so you can look at the back of folks' houses and hear their dogs bark through night. There were roosters to wake you up in the morning, too (ngl I kinda liked that part). My husband and I are avid hikers and campers, so we've seen a lot of campgrounds. This is my least favorite, right after one of the KAOs in Virginia. During our stay, I playfully dubbed this place "the trailer park of campgrounds," and before you come after me, I grew up in a trailer park (so I would know!). If you need a convenient place to stay, it will do. It's a place to sleep. But if you're wanting privacy, space, and quiet (you know, the things people go tent camping for), then you'll want to go elsewhere.

The staff at this campground was friendly and welcoming and there were many amenities. The location was convenient and there were many families enjoying the pool and fishing pond. However, we found many of the amenities (showers, bathrooms, playground, laundry, lounge) to be outdated and in need of an update. The most egregious was that twice I found broken planks with sharp screws sticking out on the playground when I was playing with my son. I did bring the issue to the attention of the staff and they removed the boards, but it really felt like it was time for a new playground. We had hoped to use the spray ground at the pool with our son, but it was never turned on during our stay.The other major drawback was that there was a considerable amount of garbage in our site that we needed to pick up when we arrived.Many families seemed to be enjoying the grounds but we would not stay again.

Had a beautiful time here! I stated in the tent campgrounds, they were quiet, spacious, and had both a picnic table and a fire pit (which is a lot more than I'm used to)! A pond for fishing with rainbow trout, tons of places for little ones to play and quiet hours that are strictly enforced so everyone can get a good night's sleep. Management is super friendly and patient, and the gift shop has items made from local artists, alongside any amenities you may have forgotten to pack (I forgot my cutlery and they had a reusable compostable fork/spoon/knife kit that was perfect). On-site laundry, showers, and even an arcade. I would very highly recommend!

Tented there one night. Price was high at $41.00 but a beautiful area and nice nearby restaurant/shopping area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Mellow Bernese mountain dog for your petting and photographing pleasure in the lobby. Other campers were nearby but quiet. Finding it was a bit of a challenge without VERY specific directions. Glad to find it when we did. Nice warm showers.

This place was amazing. Awesome staff, great campground, so comfortable for an overnight tent camp even when it was so cold. Would highly recommend for coming here.

I really wanted to like this spot.... and I might try it again once Covid is over...It's hard to find, they need a sign on the roadside. During Covid staff do not wear masks and do not enforce mask wearing. There is also a current fire ban due to the bad fire conditions, and they are allowing campers to still have fires. Showers are cramped. Very dog friendly, very kid friendly. My kids loved the splash pad. Sites are level and easy pull through. Lots of trees for plenty of shade. Each spot has electricity and water, I thought the price was a good deal compared to other family camp parks like Jellystone.

It's a nice looking place if you have kid's I'm sure this would be a great stop with the pool and all that fun stuff, however, we were tent camping and they have an aphid infestation. Like I litterally threw up because of how many bug's there where when I was trying to whipe our stuff off before putting it away. They said they put treatment on the tree's and it'll start working in 2 weeks. So don't go until the 2 weeks are up

Super friendly staff makes it fun to camp there. The pond is fully stocked which really helped my kids find the job in fishing! They loved the pool!

My boyfriend and I tent camped here for 3 nights, 1 of which was the 4th of July and we couldn't have had a better time here. Jessica is so kind and shared her recommendations for great local hikes. We checked out the spots she mentioned and they did not disappoint! The staff here are very much on top of cleaning, which made me feel comfortable staying here and using the amenities they offer. I saw regular sanitizing of surfaces as well as consistent mopping throughout the day in addition to posted signs encouraging people to wash hands and social distance. Loved seeing the care and consideration that went into this place, it has the most pleasantly nostalgic vibe and we can't wait to come back here on our next trip to the springs!

Great atmosphere, clean ammenrities, kid friendly pool. Perfect for camp fires and vacations for everyone! Strongly recommend.
