It was beautiful, quiet, and serene. Some camp sites a right on the lake. Bathrooms were ok, water was near, and garbage was near. There is a fire pit for a campfire with a grate, and a separate cooking pit with a grate. Bear locker was great.

Been going to Little beaver for a few years now. Campsites & Restrooms clean. If bringing in an RV watch for overhead impediments on road & campsites.

We love this campground and have been coming to the reservoir for more than 30 years. Close to town in case you "forgot" something. Always clean. We go in the fall - it is very quiet!!

We have been going to LGV for over 30 years. Still our favorite place to go. I am an avid fisherman and I love doing early morning trolling and I never get skunked. Beautiful clear, cool water. The trail is a great walk to the inlet and back.
My only complaint is the website doesn’t show space numbers on a map. That would be very helpful for us trailer people.
