This campground is right along a major road that runs through Harrison,
and half of the campsites, although there is a hill in between seem like
they're right off the road. Other than that, the campsites are pretty
good sized, and the bathrooms were well maintained and the cleaning
staff was GREAT! One half of the campground has sites that are more
sunny, the other half is mostly shaded. The beach was impeccable.
Those are all the good things...the reason this campground got the stars
that it did. Now for the reasons we wouldn't ever consider going back.
Our coolers (and their contents) were stolen the last night of our stay,
and we weren't the only family to have this happen. The next morning,
the ranger let us know that they had been having trouble with people
they believed were from the local community coming into the park and
stealing things.
When I asked why they weren't notifying people of this problem when they
drove on, I was told that there was a sign at the entrance to the
campground stating that campers should secure all their belongings. My
problem with this is that that sign is common to every state park
campground...and I've NEVER had anything stolen. If there is a known
problem --- the staff should have said something or posted a signs to
that effect. At the very least they should be requesting local police or
more rangers to monitor the campground at night.
The last problem was the local drag race they scheduled the holiday
weekend we were there - that ran on the road the campsites were on... so
instead of nice and quiet weekend - we got to listen to screeching cars
and revving engines all weekend.
