The weather and scenery was beautiful. The camp host was polite and helpful. My family and I had a pleasant experience. Wished we would have reserved more than one night. We'll definitely be back.

The double site was perfect for our big family. Having a covered structure over the table area was also great because it rained during our stay. The only thing that was a problem is our neighbors had a VERY loud generator that they ran up until 10 pm at night, then they started it up again in the morning. Since the sites are so close together this really took away the outdoor experience from my family since we couldn't even hear each other talk. I didn't realize the camp site didn't have a No Generator rule. Maybe if the hours for running it were cut down to only in the middle of the day it would have been better.

Great place. The bathroom was not working which was inconvenient.

Making reservation on app was very easy and info very useful. Campground was very clean. Want to let someone know that there was a nest of yellowjackets in the block wall close to the steps to the east. They should be dealt with to avoid someone else getting stung. Overall a great place.

The bathrooms in our loop were out of order the 5 days we were there. When I asked, we were told they were waiting on parts. We have a bathroom in our trailer but for people in tents that were not prepared, this was not an ideal place to camp. If bathrooms are going to be out of order for that length of time, a porta potty should have been provided.

D loop has easy access to vaults with different elevations so you don’t feel too close. The three step staircase points you down the path to the south end of the lake. Easy walk on hillside.

two flush toilets were not working!!! That says it all. Plus on campsite across from us had a huge fire going. Although it was in a fire box from home it actually seemed quite dangerous with flames two feet high. There was a fire restriction in effect
