Weather was hotter than normal, so fishing was not as good as I hoped. New camp host is not as good as Kimo.

CG Host Travis was great. Unfortunately WestRek and the USF are neglecting this CG. Sites need work due to erosion, bear boxes (yes, there are bears in area) in several sites need repaired after heavy snow years ago. Area is beautiful (beware and be prepared for high altitude 9.8K ft.) Per nite cost is exorbitant when comparing to amenities and condition.

The campsite had a view of the lake. It was near water and rest rooms. Remaining forest helped to separate one campsite from the next.
We have stayed in this campground before. It is an ideal basecamp for hikes to the lakes above Virginia Lake.
