Nice campground with the best pit toilets I've seen. The lake is close by, and people were catching fish. There are trash receptacles at each restroom, but they are locked, and a sign says to go to the dumpster that is a least a quarter mile away. The dumpsters should be at each restroom location. There were deer in the area that would come through the campground periodically. The last couple of miles the dirt road is a bit bumpy but drivable. Lots of trees with some dead that should be removed. Most campsites are spacious and separated for the most part. We'll go back there again for sure.

Hidden gem in the forest! Bring a fishing pole with you as there's plenty of good fishing in the lake. Spots are far enough away from each other for some "privacy", and restrooms were clean and well stocked. What else do you need? The forest is amazing, and there was almost always a gentle breeze 👍🏻
