Perfect campsite and very clean. We loved the view and privacy. Our host Lynn was super friendly. She gave us an update of bear sightings near the campground (we did not have a problem). She also gave us a free parking pass in case we wanted to go fishing around the dam or go to the store/boat rentals. There is also a trail right next to the campsite that leads to the lake. The restrooms and water faucet are right next to the site. That restroom does have a vault toilet not a flushed toilet.
FYI: there are stairs on this campsite, but it wasn't a big deal to us.

We’ve been there before, but this time there was a fire and we had to evalucate a day early, thus the 2 stars. I can’t find anything in the news of the fire. We samw smoke and fire engines, but we don’t know if they contained it and we could have come back.

Campgrounds clean, the host was amazing and wood guy attentive and prompt! The lake was super busy, so did have a good fishing experience, but it was Father’s Day weekend so kinda expected it. We will be back!

1st site down the road from the trash, water, and restroom. 3 little mice live around here so put all food away. Plus bear country, so pack it up. View is either your vehicle or pine trees. Morning shade is iffy, afternoon shade is good.

My site was designed to be entered front first vs back-in. However, not only is that never considered a safe way to park in case of fire, but there was no signage indicating that one should park front first. I really struggled to back in, but did it because I’m just that good. My door opened to a slope and I had to walk around to get to the table. After is was settled, the camp host informed me that I should not have backed in. Argh.

The area to park the rv at the campsite we reserved was right next to main road. Even after positioning the RV as close to the wall surrounding the campsite, if we put out the slide, it would have completely blocked the road from any traffic. That the parking area was right next to the road should have Beth in the description.
We ended up moving to a different campground so we could put out our slide.

18D was a perfect site with some shade with the tall pine trees for us, our Jack Russell & 35 ft A class motorhome. It was our first time here & we will be back. Lv Lynx Lake & the walking path around the lake & the cafe close by.
