The lake view included several duck families, osprey, and fisherpeople. The campground has seen many a camper but was clean with many chipmunks. The dog population was not under control. Restrooms were cleaned daily. There was no drinkable water. The campground needs a host. The paved walk around the lake is neat, though not used sufficiently. The scenery is beautiful and the mosquitoes plentiful. We have visited this lake area for 20 years
or more and will return.

Loved the lake and campsite. The campsites were spaced perfectly. Also each site was close to the bathrooms, which were clean and well kept. Im handicapped so i found the trail around the lake perfect. We definitely will be back.

WE had a great camping trip. We love the big spacious sites. Kayaking on the lake was a blast! It will be great when the drinkable water system is repaired.

Really beautiful spot with a lovely trail around the lake. The camp host was a very nice guy who seemed to really enjoy his job and he was very good about checking to make sure we had what we needed and were doing well.

The main bummer - BYO drinking water. They really need an infrastructure overhaul on the water system apparently.
