Lake was beautiful. Site B01 had great access to the lake, but had very little space, as it was jammed between two other sites. Pull through was plenty big for our 30’ RV, More than enough room.

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

Clean campsites, great mid-point for exploring the park, easy access to the Summit Lake to Cluster Lakes trail (really pretty hike, even with all the burn from the Dixie Fire), peaceful area, fire buckets were provided near the water spigots to easily put out your campfire at the end of the night.
