At the Entrance of the camp ground: make the map loops at the entrance more visible for reservation campers to stop and look at the map loops, before entering camp ground and see where the group loops of campsite numbers are located.

Our campsite #6 was very nice. Bathrooms were clean and close. The lake was very low but hopefully will fill back up before too long. The hike around the lake was nice and we also went on some of the more interior trails.

The beautiful lake was drained . What a disappointment , we were not notified before our arrival. It seems the only way it will ever be filled is by snow melt .
The campsite itself was very nice.

We love this place! Out in the forest, but close enough to town in case you forget something while camping. We were in a double spot with our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters, so we had a blast! We recommend visiting the Highlands Center for Natural History on Walker Road. Really fun metal insect sculptures and nature walks.

Great location, clean sites. Some are bigger than others, so be sure to check out the pics online before making a reservation.

Our site was very nice. Loop B, Site 4. Very clean and nicely spaced away from other campers. Wifi was non-existent.
