So.... here's my review. It would be 5 star (awesome lake, great lots, playground and lots things for the kids to do) BUT the bathrooms were so incredibly dirty and disgusting it's knocked the stars down to 2 stars which I feel is generous. I want to note we did let the staff know and they said they only clean them once a day no matter what. We noticed toilet paper not changed that had been very low at night (so gone in the morning pretty early on in the day and for the of the reminder of the day) and specific mess still there days later so I'm not sure how well it was checked/cleaned each day

Wont be coming back !!! For the past 7 years I had nothing but great things to say about ponhook campground. We went EVERY summer with our children, and their cousins. The one time each year where all the nieces and nephews get together for a sleepover. We always looked forward to it and the kids couldn't stop talking about how excited they were to go camping. But after this weekend I will never camp there with my family again! Our trip started out great. My husband and I were there with our 3 children, my mother, my sister, and my niece and nephew. A total of 5 children ages from 4 to 11.

Very friendly staff, vibrant camping community, power, WIFI, swimming area. A little more expensive than most campsites.
