What campers say

Duckett Mill Campground offers spacious, woodsy, mostly lakeside sites and well-kept grounds. Visitors frequently praise the friendly, helpful office and maintenance staff and the park’s peaceful setting with easy lake access and beaches. Campsites are roomy and often level, with convenient boat access at some sites. Practical tradeoffs include older bathhouses and restrooms that several reviewers felt need updating and more thorough cleaning, occasional leftover ash or debris at sites, and a gate keypad that can be awkward to reach from some vehicles. Overall, a pleasant, scenic choice if you prioritize staff and lakeside sites over modern facilities.
