This was our maiden voyage and we couldn’t ask for a better location. Clean facilities and excellent accommodations. Our location had 30 amp and 50 amp along with clean water.

Most disgusting pit toilet I’ve ever seen from a natural perspective - drain flies coated all surfaces. Water at campsite but not near “toilets”? Nice lake views.

Our site was great other than they needed to fill in some holes that had washed where the pavement and the gravel meet, so it's right where you would be walking. Luckily we carry a shovel and filled it in so no one would twist and ankle or fall. We were in site 40 that has a railing running along the perimeter with retaining wall (blocks and gravel) gravel had washed in several areas along the retaining wall so watch your step.
They need to do some serious tree trimming - trees hanging very low over the road and in some of the sites. We arrived after dark and didn't know that a tree was leaning so far over the road that we now have scratch marks down and on top of on our travel trailer! NOT GOOD! Guess we need to start carrying our pole saw! IF YOU HAVE A BIG RIG BE VERY CAREFUL, A COUPLE OF THE TREES COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR RIG.
Out house on the mainland, horrible, one reason we don't ever stay on mainland side. Not all the sites have water? Which is weird since 90% have water? A couple of them are within 100' of a spiquet so why not tap in to it and run a water line to the site? Be care of the facet in men's bathroom, - falling off and temperature in women's shower extremely hot (couldn't stand under it for very long).

Beautiful views, property kept up very well, except weedeating didn't get done at our site. Bathrooms nice, clean and well set up, but no temp control.
Site has slope that requires a lot of leveling and hook ups are a bit of a distance away. Almost too far. Nice shade & covered table.
Had a friendly neighbor who had political flags up at his site. This should not be allowed in a national park campground where people go to relax & get away from all the stress & ugliness in the world.
