We were quite chocked that there was no shade at all at the site and the area was very impacted by fire. The lake is very small and more like a pond.

Great location in the park, in the middle so can get to most places with short drive. Close to lake with close daily use parking and picnic area

Such a beautiful campsite. Close to the lake and very serene. A bit crowded but still a great way to enjoy the park.
The bathrooms were so clean! We stayed a few nights and they were always spotless and full of toilet paper. It was nice to have so many stalls and have access to flush toilets and running water! Thank you Ranger Randi for keeping them so clean! We were so grateful for her attentiveness and wonderful personality! Such a joy to have her stop by the campground!

Location, Location, Location. The location rocks. Otherwise, nothing special, campsites are too close to each other with no privacy.
