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.

Beautiful location, very nice campground. Have never seen a FS camp so nicely developed. Biggest issue is getting there: Google (and others ) often route you there via the north end of the lake using Meiss Lake Road. DO NOT go this way. FS seems to want to "blame" google on this, yet there is still a signpost on the Meiss Rd aiming you to take the narrow "ski trail' to Juanita Lake and The last few miles are very narrow with overgrown brush scraping along the sides of your vehicle. Instead come from the south using W Ball Mtn Little Shasta Rd - very smooth, very wide nice paved road!!
Camp host was great. Sites are spaced nicely. Bathrooms are clean.
