Really nice, really clean campground with large sites. Doesn't feel crowded in any way. Some burned trees from the 2021 Dixie fire just outside of the campgrounds.
Site A11 was not as indicated on reservation.gov. It shares a pad with A10 but it's large enough not to be an issue.
Hike around the lake is really nice but the boardwalk damaged by fire in a couple of spots. Easy fix.

Campground was nice, bathrooms were clean. Campsite A07 is sloped. We slept with our heads at the top of the slope and every time you roll over, you slide down the slope a bit and subsequently off the sleeping mat. We have a 6 person tent which is bigger than the average dome tent. It may be easier to manage in a smaller tent.
