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.

I loved the proximity to the lake, where we swam in the mornings despite the cold. Very quiet campground, and primitive, only running water and vault toilets. Great location in the middle of the park so you can easily access both the north and south entrances to the park.

I was only there one night. It was quiet and the other campers were extremely friendly. I was a solo camper with a dog. Dogs are not allowed on the trails so we walked a lot through the campsite on the roads. Everyone was friendly and my campsite was level and clean.

The view of the lake was beautiful. The campground was quiet - no generators or barking dogs. Loved it.
