Had a wonderful time. Camped in the group spot on Loop E. Secluded from the other spots on the loop. Restroom located on the loop was very clean. Planning on returning later this summer.

The camp host was very polite the camp space was excellent but unfortunately the water spicket next to the bathroom was out of order as well as the mens restroom the plumber showed up twice but did not get it fixed so men as well as women were using the woman restroom and it was filthy dirty . So sad has was a nice flushable restroom

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.

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.

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 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.
