Summit Lake South is a scenic and well-kept campground with decent privacy and easy access to nearby lakes and trails. Many campers appreciated the tranquility and cleanliness, enjoying amenities like potable water and flat camping spots. However, some noted issues with campsite spacing, uneven parking, and noise from nearby campers, while others mentioned the impact of the recent fire on the area's natural beauty.

Beautiful place. I chose the tent only area. The spaces are huge. Shaded, large trees, nearby lake and meadow, great scenery. You get a table and fire pit, and parking for one vehicle. Water faucets are nearby. This is a central location, close to many of the park’s attractions. My only criticism is that you only get vault toilets, and no showers. For a real shower experience you need to drive 25 min.

We liked that there were large restoration areas around the campsite. We weren't able to find a short way to the lake though.
