The sites are clean, spacious, and mostly shaded, with convenient access to nearby attractions and hiking trails.

I always have a good time at this campsite. Make note that there are no showers so I bring my own. The bathrooms are usually very clean. You are still able to have a campfire in the provided rings. The bear boxes are very helpful as there is wildlife. The camp host usually has the site prepped and cleaned for Check in. Currently there is a interim camp host who leaves at 5 PM, so be sure to get your firewood prior to.

Loved it BUT there was a family of coyotes at the top of my site (45). Luckily my 22 lb dog was alright… I didn’t leave her out of my site but I definitely heard the coyote pups and saw two big adult coyotes.

Beautiful campground and convenient location. Site 30 was big enough for 3 tents and trees for our hammocks. The camp host was so nice and attentive.

Perfect location, close to everything you need but tucked back enough to feel isolated. Our family loves this spot and consider it our first choice and favorite!

Great camp site! Very quiet, we had no issues with neighbors being noisy. There is a small road behind our sites (7 through 11) but very few cars went by so we hardly noticed. A good number of mountain bikers passing through quickly, but far enough away and quiet enough where it didn't bother us. Sites themselves were great. Slightly uneven, a few slopes and rocky places, but manageable for everybody including the 75 year olds and 3 year olds. Sites were super shady, no need to bring any canopies or extra shade. Hosts were great, delivered and sold us fire wood, kept bathrooms clean although toilet paper did run out at night. Bring a roll to be safe! Trash cans very close by, restrooms well-spaced so they're not far from any sites, easy in and out. Lake is just 5 minutes away, we rented pontoon boats at the Pine Knot marina for site seeing and a little fishing. Supermarkets and fast food within 5 minutes as well so you won't be lacking anything. Overall we had a great weekend and will be back!
