Dark Day Campground

Stayed in site 6A 6/4 - 6/6. We didn't like the fact that you had to park, unload and drag all of your gear down to your site. Thankfully 6A wasn't too far from the parking spot. I recommend bringing a wagon to tote your gear. There is a fire ring and a bear locker at each site. Vaulted toilets and a water spigot were available. The rangers came down every day to wipe the toilets down. Lots of mosquitos and yellow jackets.
Unfortunately for us, there seem to be a group of friends who stayed at the near by sites who partied with loud music very late into the early mornings until the sheriff or rangers finally came down and had them stop the music. Their dog also barked while they yelled at him the entire time. I'm all for having fun, but when it's past a certain time keep the music to your group.
The walk to the water was long. You have to walk down to the boat launch area. No real beach area. You just find a spot and hang out. The water was nice though. If we do come back it would be for the water.

We have young kids so this review may not apply to you! Our campsite was 10 a. Gorgeous view of the lake! Campers were walking by a lot as it's at the end near the trails to the water. There isn't easy access to the water as it's steep. We didn't attempt as it would have been too deep for our toddlers anyway but people were getting in there somewhere. Nowhere really to set up a lakeside picnic so we went to the day use area which was very close, but again not the easiest to get in/swim with super young kids so ask about a beach area before you go! It is end of summer now so maybe early summer it's completely different with more water? We were lucky to find a flat area in a cove to set up sun shade/toys. Added to the adventure for sure! Vault toilets near the parking to the campsites. 10a is at the end so you will have to walk everything back and forth. Boating lakes seem to have party campgrounds haha. Nothing too crazy but it was loud and there was garbage everywhere even in the fire ring (even plastic ugh). I'm sure it's been a busy summer it's just disappointing. Anyway we'll be back for day trips to swim in the beautiful warm water but can't say we'd come back to dark day to camp unless we ever get a boat!
