However, some sites are closely spaced and lack shade, which may affect privacy and comfort.

I enjoyed my spacious campsite near the water, kayaking and swimming in the lake, and hiking the Terrace Lake Trail. Along the east side of the lake (beyond the very edge of the lake) the fire damage to the forest is severe. To the west, the forest is unscathed. There is still much to love about this place.

Very nice campground with some private spots. The Dixie fire did get close to campground. Which made for a different experience.

Summit Lake was such an amazing campground. We booked only 1 night to break up a long drive to California, but wish we would have booked another night to be able to do some exploring in the area. Will definitely come back for a longer stay. Bummed to see sites that were reserved that nobody showed up for. There should be a serious fine if you no-show for a reservation without cancelling. It's hard to get these spots in the first place.

Campsite was well maintained and bathrooms were clean! We stayed at loop b 25 which was on the smaller side of campgrounds and we were really close to our neighbors. The site next to us is for RV’s so your view of the lake will be blocked if they are parked there. Other than that, nice quiet area!
