Overall- good experience. The lake was beautiful! Great lake for boating and fishing. The beach area was sectioned off and very pleasant to swim in, very shallow a long way out so good for kiddos. The campsites were very nice size and well kept, every site has a picnic table, fireplace (with fold over grill), and wooden table for equipment. There is no Park Office - everything is self-serve. Registration is done with a slip of paper at a sign. When we called to get information on the site we were told we could have any number of tents that would fit on our site as long as we paid the 25 fee for the electric site. Once we got there, the rules were different - each family unit paid 25 regardless if sharing a tent/camper. They consider a family the adults with juvenile children - therefore we all had to pay 75 dollars for the weekend. We had my parents, and their three children with their spouses - came out to $300 dollars for a weekend of camping...not very efficient. Had we known this (phone calls prior never explained this) - we would not have driven three and a half hours north to stay here. I personally would not go again due to the rules on "family unit" but it is a nice place to stay if it's just one couple - not a whole family. Fishing was okay - mostly panfish and some crappie. One Northern was caught and released but very little sport/game fish action on this lake. Would be nice for children bobber fishing.
Go on a nice weekend - when it's too windy the lake is unbearable to be on with a small motor boat. Waves are giant when the wind picks up. Check the weather before you go, it's on a peninsula so the wind really picks up and the trees...
Read moreExcellent campground! Clean, everything close, nice sites!
3 stars because sites cannot be reserved and are listed as first come, first served. We took a Friday off to arrive early enough to get a site. I don't like not knowing if we have a place to stay or not, especially when visiting extended family in the area which limited our locations. After a 3 1/2 hour drive, pulling a travel trailer, we arrive at Solberg Lake Campground, excited after all the reviews we read. There wasn't a list of available site on the Registration board so we had to drive through. We're still excited but that excitement quickly turned to anger when there were 3-4 lake front sites with a chair on each and a rope through all three, and as we continued to drive through, there were other sites with a chair and a registration ticket. An empty chair IS NOT an occupied site! Luckily there was a site without a chair nor a registration ticket so we took it, finding out that someone else had laid claim but hadn't yet paid. We expressed our frustration with the camp host who told us that the lake front sites had prepaid for a couple of weeks but only stayed for one weekend of that time. Thus, three of the best sites were left empty so no one else could use them. The county needs to require actual, physical occupancy or start taking reservations! No one wants to start their adventure in frustration, or worse, without a...
Read moreNice campground with a boat landing. The sites are spaced well enough so you're not right on top of the people next to you. Bathrooms with running water and showers on both ends of the grounds and several other pit style toilets. I believe that all of the sites also have electric hookups and there is a septic dump station on the way out of the park. Would...
