A very beautiful spot to camp. I wish i would have reserved sooner to get a different spot because there was not enough space for our set up due to our site being extremely close to the neighbors. Not a far walk to the bathrooms for most campsites. Will reserve this place again to camp!

We drove 3 hours to camp here and spend time at the crystal mines which were about 40 minutes from the campgrounds. Beautiful campground, the kids loved the swimming area, it was a nice sandy beach. Bathrooms and showers were nice and kept very clean. Only thing I didn't like was how closely packed the campsites were. We camped in a tent and had no area outside where the tent and car were, when we camp we typically like to bring yard activities there was no grass area at our site to play in. Otherwise very nice campground.

We had a great time! We had an excellent spot with great shade and wonderful views of the lake. We're already planning our next trip there.

We camped 5 nights in site 41, great view and access to the beach, shaded site most of the day and fairly level. Bath house was clean and in good repair, had cellular service through T-Mobile, even though there is no WIFI the cell service allowed us to maintain connection to the outside world. If you have a boat you are close enough to lake to pull your boat up on shore and walk up to your campsite just a few feet away... great place to camp! Would recommend a visit to Charlton Camp ground just up the road towards Mt. Ida, or if your really adventurous hike there, jump in the swimming hole to cool off....
