This campground might be best for tent camping only. We were told this would be an appropriate spot for our pop up camper, but there was no place to pull into the actual camp site so we ended up having to set up right on the side of the road. The wind was pretty extreme all day and night as well which kept us all up until late. Also there were very loud neighbors up late and then playing music at 4am and talking loudly all night which also made it difficult to sleep. The campground also stated there was water available but we could not find any and so had some challenges washing dishes etc...

Site 51-Buckhorn. 30’ travel trailer, 2 vehicles. Beautiful secluded site. Lots of room. Bathroom was open but didn’t appear to be regularly cleaned. With showers closed due to COVID, seems like rate should be reduced. No water at closest spigot to site. Next closest very hard to operate and you’re gonna get a little wet. Overall good experience.

It is expensive relative to what you get for your money compared to most other campgrounds like this.

Beautiful campsite close to the lake. Hosts were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It was quiet. Restrooms were clean, and we were pleasantly surprised to find free showers! We hiked in 6 wilderness areas in 6 days....what more could you want?
