The host was great, the bathrooms were clean, site was well maintained with plenty of shade. Mountain water available for drinking and dumpsters for use. This is our 4th time here and we will be back!

Small campsite with decent sized spots. Water available from the entrance by the host area. Bathrooms were pit toilets but good to have. The main drawback was not the camp's fault, but it definitely was a negative. Close to the road where off-road vehicles joy ride back and forth, rudely kicking up dust and causing noise in an otherwise pristine setting.

The site was clean, fairly well spaced out from the neighbors, the host was super friendly, and the bathrooms were the cleanest and best smelling I have ever encountered at a campsite!

We felt clean and safe, and the camp host was amazing! The only thing was that there were a lot of free-range campers in the surrounding areas that had off-leash dogs that were not very friendly - These campers though were not on the campsite just the areas surrounding.

We loved this place!! It was rustic and beautifully natural! There was a vault toilet but no running water or electricity…great get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. It was very quiet except for wildlife..oh and the camp hosts generator.
We will definitely be returning.

I picked the perfect time to camp, as there weren't that many people around. The lake was majestic and the campsite #13 was perfect for me as I was solo Camping.
Camp host did a really good job in checking in to see that everything was going well.
Overall- I'll def be coming back!
