I love this little campground. It was clean and quiet except for the generator down the road that started up at 6:30 a.m. Also restrooms are not open at all loops so you have to walk to other loops to use. Hopefully they will add a dump station in the future. Would gladly pay more per night for dump and water filling station for RV's.

I really love this campground. It was very easy to get to and it’s amazing how quickly you’re right up there in the pine trees. It is well kept up. The pit toilets are very clean. I did not see a lot of the camp hosts, but when I did they were very friendly. A couple of things I really like about this location is how close it is to go to town and do things. I also love taking a hike around the lake but the trails to get to the lake from the campground are not marked super well. I stayed in the H loop. I had to park my van right on the road and walk down into my campsite that is not ideal but it’s still was a beautiful campsite and I happened to have really friendly and nice camping neighbors. I would definitely recommend this location.

Nice spot with well developed, spread-out campsites and attentive hosts. Recurrent issue with plumbing had closed nearest bathroom. Two other available bathrooms were a considerable walk from our campsite.

We were there during the week so had no experience with the camp host or store. Stayed in Loop D. Very nice. Trail to the lake. Definitely would come back.

Wonderful rustic campground. What I liked:
1. Lots of space between sites with trees and privacy
2. Each site was raked, clean and organized. Well kept.
3. The host came by (Lynn) and was extremely welcoming and helpful, really wonderful host.
4.Great location for access to lake down the road.
What I did not like so much:
1. Signs and sites were a bit difficult to find. Site 5 was a ghost site, and loop B was very tricky. At night almost impossible. Better signs would help alot.
