Excellent 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 place to stay.
