We camped on a Sunday night and practically had the place to ourselves. It was quiet and peaceful.

This is quickly becoming one if my favorite camp grounds. The water is nice and the sites are good. My only complaint is there's no drinking water so you have to pack in your own

This campground is a hidden gem. It was not crowded, and the little lake was charming, although more suited for fishing than swimming. Campers should be aware that, while there is water, it is not potable. That should be made clear on the website.

Beautiful campground. Access is a little rough but the campgroung is lovely. It is set up very nice for wheelchairs. Nice paved trails. clean and beautiful. The lake water is clear but there are lots of water lily pads out in the lake. Great for kayaking and paddleboards. nice large sites.

It was colder and raining when we went so much of the campground was empty. Beautiful fishing opportunities. Our son caught his first fish. Frequently caught rainbow trout and large mouth bass. We had a great time and it's a beautiful location. We wish bear lockers were provided, other than that, it was stunning.

*If you bring an animal, have then on a flea medication! Frontline didn't hold up and the one dog we brought carried them home =/
