Very private sites with ample foliage between each. We managed to get a site right next to a trailhead leading down to the lake. Very quiet, but we were there on a weeknight. The 2 mile walk around the lake is beautiful and peaceful with a variety of birds to admire. 10/10 will come back to this campground!

The 3 days 2 nites was great. The only thing is I did not know the handicap site was so small.

We have camped in several places and so far this has been our best experience yet.
We camped in September so the weather was perfect and cool at nights. Since we camp during our days off, Sunday through Wednesday, there are less people. The campsite we chose because of the space was 12C and it was spacious. We
Also could walk straight down to the lake from the back of our site. It was really quiet there. No road sounds but the coyotes were pretty noisy. The bathrooms were very smelly though and their was no lights in there.
We also only had three steps down to the site. We had morning sun but not afternoon.

Camp host was never seen. Bathrooms were filthy and out of Toliet paper. It looks like no one has been maintaining the camp grounds. It is a very well designed campground lots of privacy between spots, they just need to get a new camp host
