Unfortunately, Camp Bullfrog Lake feels like a place with great potential that has been abandoned. The biggest issue was that there was no running water. Bathrooms could not be flushed, and there was no way to wash hands or dishes; an obvious health hazard. Thankfully, we came prepared with Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer wipes and spray, and baby wipes, but we also had to purchase bottled water to get by.
The cabin itself was somewhat clean (no spider webs or heavy dust), but the bathroom was not up to standard. On the positive side, the cabin does have both AC and heat, which is useful year-round, especially if you’re visiting with kids or seniors.
The office supplied firewood, though they ran out at one point. Another inconvenience is that cars are not allowed in after 10 p.m. or before 7 a.m., which may be restrictive for some families.
The surroundings are nice for kids, with a safe deck for fishing, a lake where you can rent kayaks, and trails for hiking and biking. However, the lake itself did not seem to be very clean, and during our stay we only saw one person catch one fish. It doesn’t seem like they stock the lake often, if at all. On top of that, many trees throughout the hiking area look like they’ve been badly affected by pests, with broken and damaged trees.
Overall, if you bring your own water, this place may be fine for a one-night stay with kids. But given the lack of basic amenities, upkeep, and nature conditions, we would not return.
