Bloomington Public Use Area

The place is great. Nice place to do camping, spend your day relaxing, fishing, outdoor activities.

A very nice well run federal camping area. The camping areas are nice and clean. The people who run the camp drive around on a nice electric mini-car at night and keep a good eye on things. I come out here once a year to meet friends for a small gathering.

Because of safe atmosphere of the camping area, there are many of children riding around on their bicycles and they don't always watch so you must keep an eye out for them. They do seem well behaved thought.

There is a nearby boat dock but fishing seems to be limited to that area. There could be some other ways to the lake but I didn't have time to explore them.

There is a good sized , brick restroom / shower area at the center of camp. There are other smaller wood framed restrooms located in a number of areas that have running water.

There seems to be ample hookups for campers, large and small.

Overall, a good experience.

This place is clean and the people are really nice there 8s a little shop down the road that sells fire wood and ice plus some other random things.

Love this campground...nice beach and the campground is clean and well maintained.

I liked it a lot, my 17 month old liked the play ground, and my wife is not outdoorsy enjoyed herself too. Just remember to bring bug repellent with DEET, there were mosquitoes (because it's a lake) and ticks. Not too many people either.

Very nice disc golf course, a variety of difficult, to easy holes. Love playing here.

It was a nice quiet place. Tons of parking. A lot of open spaces. Some areas look like no one had been there in 30 years. Lots of great places to take photos. Caught a few bass also.

I can't think of anything wrong with this place but the drive. There is lots of room for tents, and lots of room for free-range pets and children to play, too. The bathrooms are actually clean, and there is a wash room for dishes.

There are at least two trails, one of which branches out. The older kids like the harder, rockier one, which was never really a trail, just a riverbed. It forks into two trails, one short one that leads to the lake and one long one that leads to two things. A field, and a muddier trail. They usually come out of the muddy one covered in it, but they have lots of fun. If you go all the way through it, it leads to the playground.

Did I mention there was a playground? It's great. Waterfountain, mulch, benches, and equipment. Anyway, the easier trail is shorter and more sloped, but it leads to the lake also. It is more ideal for younger kids or adults.

The gazebo/shelter has electricity enough to plug things such as croc-pots and waffle irons in, and charge cell phones and tablets. Also, right next to it is a sand volley ball court. Next to that is a field. It's a great place for group photos, but don't cut yourself on the thick, sharp grass.

Sorry for the freakishly long review, I just have so many great memories here. I've been going with my family's friend group since I was a kid.

Beautiful park, bathrooms and shower house was a bit dirty though.

Vary nice camping area, the host and other ground keepers are the best..make you feel welcome. Vary clean . Wonderful scenery nice area to walk around in &the kids have fun.. we've been coming for years,

It's a great camping area. Lots of shade.

Fantastic campground. Actual flush toilets instead of those composting holes in the ground. Shower house and bathrooms are clean by campground standards. Will be back.

We had a wonderful time, the camp grounds are great, bathrooms are clean and the beach is awesome.

Clean, quiet campground with roomy sites: many with electric and water, some full hook-ups. Beautiful Lake setting on Clinton Lake.

This park is one of my top three parks. The sites are paved, restrooms and shower houses are spacious.

Beautiful camp sites, friendly staff. Fishing could have been better.

Awesome especially with all of the lakes flooding. Nice campground!

Nice area for swimming and relaxing in the sand. It's a nice family friendly beach.

Disc golf course is well marked, mowed and will definitely be coming back to play again

Beautiful beach + park area. One of our fav things to do in the summer
