Clean, quiet, and beautiful place. Has bathrooms, water, boat launch, walking paths, and a gorgeous lake. Each site has a table, fire ring, bear box, and charcoal grill grate.

Has bear boxes. Last few miles of road are not paved and fairly rugged. Beautiful lake and great swimming and kayaking. Big party lake. Very loud when the weekend crowd arrives. ALL of the dogs were off leash and roaming the campground. Eaten alive by bugs despite using Off.

Solid camping sites with a super chill vibe. All campsites are close distance to the water, but Loop A definitely is closest. During the time we visited, the bathrooms were closed and they had porta-potties (I didn’t mind, but FYI).
Make sure to use bear boxes we did hear activity at night and neighbors experienced it firsthand. The water level at the reservoir was low but definitely still accommodates boats and smaller flotation devices.
Finally, there aren’t many resources/store at the nearest town, so make sure you bring everything you need ahead of time. Overall, recommend it for a nice camping get-away.

Had a great time. The camp sights were still not clean from the down trees. No camp host so some campers didn’t go by the rules of quiet time. No bathrooms just out houses which they did keep clean. All in all had a good time.

My campground was full of litter when I got there. Not sure if the people before left it and did not get cleaned or if someone left a bag of garbage and animals got it to. But it took me about 20 minutes after a long drive to clean it up. Besides that, everything else was good after. Loved the lake and campround. Sites are a little close to each other. People were loud way passed 10 p.m. because there is no camp host. That was another issue. Had a good time regardless

Nice, calm, all you need in one place, but be aware of bears.
