Barton Springs Campground-Normandy Reservoir

This is a beautiful campground in a good location. Sadly, we have never seen such rude management in our 36 years of camping all over the country and in Canada as the people that run this place. We arrived 50 minutes before check-in and they made us wait in the boat dock parking lot until check in time. We  would understand if they had been busy or crowded. The place was empty. We decided to dump our tanks while waiting. They came over and made us leave because it was before one o’clock. The reason they gave us that we had to wait was because they needed the two hours between check out and check in to clean the campsite. When we arrived at our site there was trash in the fire pit and the picnic table was dirty. We had friends come over to eat dinner with us. They charged them $11.22 to come in. They parked in a parking space by the bathroom. The management told our grandson that if they didn’t move the truck it would be towed. To top it all off they told other guests at the campground that they had to get onto us five or six times in other words they were harassing us. The young couple that told us this said management had fussed at them and wanted them to leave their boat in overflow parking rather than their campsite which had plenty of room. This could be a wonderful campground, but we definitely won’t be back. It’s surprising they are in business. This is totally unnecessary. 

A well maintained campground but hard to find a level spot unless you’re parked along the waterfront. We did walk the campground and found the spots in “The Island” loop are all fairly level. Camp hosts are nice and very helpful. We stayed for a weekend the end of October which wasn’t too busy but we can certainly see where it would be extremely busy in the warm summer months. Even though we didn’t use them, the bathrooms were clean as well as all areas used by patrons. The park should have policies on barking dogs or maybe the only parking dogs in the campground were parked close to us. 

Stay during the week and have it all to yourself. The weekends are a local party event. The lake is nestled amongst the hills and it is quiet and relaxing. The trees are nice and it is well maintained. No phone connectivity at all. Locals were nice and give great directions. The roads around the area are fun if you like the curves and hills. 

This campground is okay.  We were on the D loop, which is probably the newest.  The waterfront lots are a lot nicer.   ( Level, with nice grass and some shade). The further away from the water you get, the rougher it gets.  The lake is the main attraction. There's really no other reason to go here.  

The bathrooms are clean and taken care of.  The staff was present and seemed to be on top of things. We will probably go back because it's close to home and I love Normandy lake. There are just too many things that need to be fixed to give it 4 stars.  Also, they need to level things up.  

The campground is nice enough, but it is mostly permanent rigs with bright outdoor lights left on all night.
The shower is ridiculous; a push button gives you a 2-3 second squirt of water, like a hand sink in a gas station - even if you try holding the button in.
For RVers, there are no sewer hookups, just a dump station

Lovely out of the way place on a TVA reservoir. Many permanent residences. Very nice and clean. Let us come in late arrival. Picked a spot right on the water! Gorgeous views and cool breezes. Large flat, shaded spots. Pull thrus with electric and water. Dump station available. We are traveling in June in a class A.

Excellent layout, flat ground
 But prices have increased from $22 for waterfront lots to $31.83 for waterfront in just 3 yrs
 Offered half price for disabled patrons who had Access Pass but now only offer 10% off
 Looks like they may be catering to the wealthier people
