The hosts were the best. I have camped all over the western Unites States this summer and fall and the hosts were the best so far. They made me feel welcome and safe. Thank you!

Campsites are well placed and meticulously maintained by the hosts. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. There is an excellent trail network for hiking and some are designated for mountain bikes.

Been coming to these campsites for 8 years and love it. We usually rent out an entire loop so that we can be secluded! Here’s an update on the water levels! We were able to kayak, but the water is not near the parking lot like how it used to be! As for creatures… We see raccoons and we hear howling in the night sometime but that’s it !!

Fully paved, easy to access. Spacious campsite. We had a 4-5 people tent, and a canopy with lots of room left to move around. Make sure to reserve your site early tho!

Campers next to us had little dogs that barked all day and evenings for 2 days.
The forest Service started a controlled burn that caused us to leave early due to very heavy smoke.
The camp host was super nice and agreed with the poor choice of starting a controlled burn the week before the campground closed.
We saw many campers evacuating the campground due to the inconsiderate poor planning by the Forest Service.
