Trimmer Campground offers a beautiful, peaceful setting with lovely views of the lake and good AT&T service, making it a nice spot for relaxation, boating, and fishing. Many reviews highlighted the shaded campsites and overall cleanliness, though there are concerns about bathroom maintenance and the campground's isolation. While some visitors faced issues with restroom availability and cleanliness, others enjoyed their stays and appreciated the quiet atmosphere.

Really cannot give a fair review here. Once coming to this site, we decided not to stay. We were unaware that the lake on which the campground is situated was so depleted. The campsite, - which appears on the RECREATION.GOV site to be at waters edge - is now about a football's field away. As such, the campground is nearly abandoned. On a Saturday afternoon, there were fewer than 5 others there. Also, as this site is currently not greatly utilized, the bathroom was .... somewhat filthy and infested with spiders....
In all fairness, this campground choice was a bit of a Hail Mary. Our reservation for a Campground in the northern part of the state was cancelled for some reason by the Forest Service. As we were in the midst of a camping adventure - and it was a busy weekend - Trimmer was just about the only place available via RECREATION.GOV. We had no great expectations for this site, but came anyway. There was no facility to ascertain the current condition short of showing up.
It would be most helpful to have some function on the RECREATION.GOV that gave some sense of current conditions - temperature range, etc at most - and especially these more remote - sites?

The camp ground was clean and bathrooms clean too.
Nice to see the animals around and fun to hear the coyotes at night along with the owls.
The Ranger was supper cool.

This is a very nice campground with a beautiful view. I was there in the fall and had the place to myself so I had perfect weather and an abundance of wildlife that included redtail hawks, bald eagles, a bobcat in my site, and coyotes singing in the night.
