We have not camped here, but have visited for day use. The swimming beach is nice and quiet. They have a great playground that is good for kids of all ages (a smaller one for the preschool crowd and a big one that will challenge older kids). There is a nice little trail that goes along the top of the reservoir. And I highly recommend the waterfalls trail (blue to red markers). I wasn't impressed with the bathrooms in the changing house by the lake, but that's the only negative.
I've gone to this park for ar least 30 years. When my kids were young, we'd go with my parents, and niw that they are adults, they try to come once a year to share this special place with their families. It is a beautiful park, with many upgrades, and it is well cared for.
Beautiful deep woods. What a place to be one with nature. The employees and visitors both so kind and upbeat. My daughter and I got to see a black bear about a quarter mile down CCC Road head to the park entrance. No worries though, you have to travel quite some distance before you get to the campground. I found it to be extremely safe when it comes to security. As soon as you pull up, day or night, employees are on their toes keeping visitors safe. They have quite a huge lake with a boat entrance. We even saw families board paddling too. Facilities are amazing! Dogs are allowed too. I spend a lot of time in Lebanon over the summer, soI will be back to this campground definitely! Only one thing I didn't like is the ground on each campsite. No grass but I give the employees two thumbs up for reconstruction of the grounds so at least there is no mud/mess each time it rains. To me camping is about making the best with what you've got.
Cherry Plain Campground is a great little spot. It's quiet and small. No wifi or electricity at the sites. Water is nearby. So if you want to get away from it all, this is the place for you! They didn't get a 5 star rating only because while nice and new, the bathrooms could be cleaner.
Worst camping trip of our lives. I tried to find a secluded campsite for my family, my dogs and my husband and I. I read all of the reviews on this campground, and everyone ranted and raved about how private it was and small. What a crock!! We checked in on Saturday and not only was our campsite not secluded, no one at the campground mentioned that there would be 60 people there for a wedding right next to our campsite! We have two dogs, one is a BLoodhound and he can get loud at passersby, but we were under the impression this would be a "private and secluded" campground. Needless to say, this was no vacation for us. Besides the dogs barking, we had a ton of small unattended children just walking onto our site to pet our dogs. A ton of people that thought our Bloodhound was some sort of spectacle and would constantly stop into our site. We even tried blocking our site with our cars, and it was just awful, people still kept coming. The staff on the first night was running their gators and four wheelers ALL NIGHT LONG, SO we had no sleep. Then we tried to play some music the next day (we could barely hear it on our site) and a female staff member walked down and said she could hear the music at the office. This wasn't even QUIET TIME!!! IT was dinnertime around 6 p.m.! Then we were talked to about our dog barking, which, in my opinion, he was just being a dog, by the same female staff member. We will never return to this campground, and frankly, we deserve a refund!! We ended up leaving a day early also, this place sucked!
