The camp host is very friendly. The place is clean and beautiful. The only thing is the ongoing problem with the water. The forest service has been trying to get a grant to replace the deteriorated lines that are rotten and keep breaking. They spend thousands on it every season only to have a system made up of patches that keep giving out. Whoever keeps turning down the grant to fund a new system can't understand how important water is, not just for normal needs but for putting fires out also.

Very pretty campground with a nice walking path around the lake. Lots of critters to look at. Friendly chipmunks. Camp host was great. Peaceful. We had a wonderful time.

Very nice helpful host. Great well kept camp ground. Unpotable water is unacceptable. Come on forest service put some effort into getting this fixed! Also had a discussion with the forest service worker regarding the camp ground. She was very rude and could care less about our experience.

It doesn’t seem fair that we book it when there is water and we get there there’s no water we should not have to pay full price for a lack of water
