Was a really nice site. My only negative was that the parking spot wasn’t as level as it could have been so I needed to put one tire on a large rock to level my camper. I was last minute and it was the only site available for 2 nights.

Parking pads not level enough for a small RV but otherwise wonderful! Lake, hikes, and star gazing phenomenal!

It was a beautiful, quiet, well-kept campground. The trail around the lake is a great reminder of how close the fire got to the campground.
