Campsite was very close to a neighbor site. The neighbor used 3-4 gas lanterns until late in the evening and ruined night sky viewing and campfire relaxation. Park should educate visitors on being respectful with their lighting.

excellent central base camp to hike Lasses Peak, Kings Falls, Bumpass Hell, Brokeoff Mountain. Campsites well spaced; fellow campers quiet and respectful. Beautiful lake day and night.

Had a wonderful stay over the Holiday weekend. Brian was a wonderful host and very friendly. We even chased a Bear out of our site! Wonderful stay for our 30th Anniversary. Such a beautiful Lake.

We had an amazing time at this campground over the 4th of July weekend. Weather was perfect and the campground was very nice. Extremely clean and surprisingly quiet for the most part. It was a little louder on the 4th but still not bad. The lake was great with easy water access from the south campground. Would definitely come back
