Its alot better than the other campground. The river winds its way into the lake here with ample boulders to jump off & explore. Great kayaking or float tubes. It was near empty mid week. The camp host keeps campsites and restrooms very clean

Campsite was clean and well-kept. Lots of down timber that we ended up using for firewood.
Bathrooms were in good shape and there were plenty of water faucets with clean drinking water.
Fire pits were good with adjustible grills for cooking.
First itme experience, we were going to take the Jeep 4-wheeling in the area but didn't have a lot of gas left after the 2+ hour drive from Foresthill.

Beautiful. Deeper and a bit more remote than places I usually camp. You have to drive 45 minutes for phone reception, and further for a store, so gas up and bring plenty of ice. The lake was high and the shoreline was very small with trees submerged but we still found a beautiful spot to bhang and swim easy walking from the campsite. Nice hosts, seemed new.

Very beautiful lake and not crowded which is rare for the summary time. The campsite had everything you'd need. Only call out is that you have to take a dirt road to get here because of some detour which I was unprepared for.
