Camp hosts very nice and helpful

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 👍🏻

This is the first time I've had a bad experience at this campground. I was in site 15 and it absolutely reeked from bathrooms being next to it. I'm not sure what the issue was. Maybe the vaults were full? I couldn't sleep with the windows on my trailer open on one side or I would get nauseous from the smell. It's natural there are going to be times where you catch a whiff of it, but it was constant. I couldn't enjoy sitting outside. The first couple days it was warm and then it was supposed to cool off. I figured maybe when it cooled off it wouldn't be as bad. It still was.

Everything was great. Clean enough, firewood available. Campground host was by several times and was quite friendly. The trail around the lake was easy, and the kids said the fishing was great!

My only issue was mosquitoes. Hoards everywhere. The kids in our group got bit alot. I got bit so much more. It outdoors. I expected some bugs this is the worst I've ever experience. Benadryl every 4 hours. Anti-itch, caladryl. 6 days later and I'm still miserable.
