We love this place and it's our go to. However, this time there was not any forest service workers or even law enforcement that come around. The trash was overflowing and the bathrooms were a serious mess. Very disappointed this time. We usually camp here 3 times a year but our next camping trip will be another campground.

We had a group of 10 families. We could not reserve the group site this time as it was unavailable. We reserved 10 or eleven sites and we had a blast. The kids were all happy and rode bicycles, they swam and jumped off the dock not to mention the love fishing. We also played lots of games. We all had an absolutely amazing time. Great place for family reunions or church groups like ours. Lots of bonding and special memories.

No water source, no camp host or someone monitoring the camp ground. A lot of drive thru people parking in camp sites during the day to party.
