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.

Great spot with plenty of space and a fire ring. Bathrooms and faucet were close but not too close and the parking was good. One of the few spots with a little bit of privacy even with the trees being cut down.

Campsites are not divided by trees but still feel separate. We appreciated the quiet of the "tents only" loop.

We were at Summit Lake South sites C01 & C02. C01 was fairly flat so that’s where we set up our tents. This spot was great because all the attractions were only about 20 minutes in either direction. I only gave it 4 stars because the swimming on the South side was difficult to get to and didn’t seem very inviting.

Beautiful campground ! One thing noticed . The trash cans and bear proof boxes are all leveled. Why can't the RV /car pads be level ?

The campsite is extremely close to neighbors with no good location for a tent unless you are directly next to their tent

Great campsite, at the end of the row so far from lots of people but still a few sites away from the toilets. Water spigot at the front of the site. Lots of space to spread out and a great table by the fire pit.

Reserved D12. Next to bathroom on left, no neighbor to right. Not much privacy due to exposure to campers to the rear in loop C.
D-loop very nice, would recommend any space in D-loop.
Easy access to Summit lake. Bathroom was clean.

This site was a pleasant surprise. It backed up to a large fallen tree which offered some extra space and privacy. We would definitely book this site again. This campground does tend to attract some campers that lack camping etiquette - loud nights and music etc. The pit toilets are never ideal, but they were relatively clean.
