Great Campground. Spot 27F is one of the best spots. We had no problem with our 20 ft travel trailer, but anything longer would be tight.

Our campsite was exposed, unfortunately, so we had alot of wind that night, which was gusting and was apparently unusual for the season. We had chosen a campsite that we thought was shielded by trees because many of the other campsites have several steps to and from your car to the campsite itself. Anyway, our tent held up in the gusts. Forecasts for the next 2 nights were temps in the mid-20s, which was too cold for us. We liked Lynx Lake and enjoyed our hike there, but we probably will not return to the campground.

I've been camping here every year since the early 90s. I love the campsite and will continue to camp here for years to come.

The campsite was good except the water spigot was out of order. We had to get our water from the other campground loop nearby. Good thing we had a cart to carry our heavy water containers back to our campsite.

Except for the Crooks fire making our camping shorter it was awesome! The camp host was great and the camp ground as always was clean! Because of the camp host and the cleanliness of the camp ground it's our favorite place!

The two days I was there, Sunday and Monday, the store was never open. I wanted to find out about things at the campground and lake and was unable to do so. The bathrooms were a long way from the campsite. The campsite was very nice.

We just happened to stay right after the evacuation orders were lifted. We essentially had the whole campground to ourselves at the beginning of May! Overall a great place to stay, plenty of trees for shade. Bathrooms could use more attention. They weren’t the cleanest.
