We had campsite 189 which worked out well. The shower/ combo bathrooms were heavily used and the toilet area was always wet. We saw the bathrooms being cleaned, and had used other bathrooms without the shower, which were in good shape. If campers don’t dry off IN the shower, there’s a problem.

Absolutely love this campground. Most sites are spacious, none are crammed together. It is kept very clean and the area protected as much as possible. There are many bike/walking trails to the lakes, town and other areas through nature. There ARE bears, so just be smart and responsible. They are beautiful creatures and we are in THEIR space. We camp here every year.

Very nice campsite with lots of room between sites. Close to showers. Only downside is the firepit is rather tall which makes it difficult to see the fire. Otherwise, a beautiful quiet. setting.

The campground itself is very good. But we were not happy with this particular campsite. We had a small 3 person tent but this site is full of big rocks and there is only a very tiny space to have a tent. I don't think it's suitable for tent camping. But we walked to the lake, which is pretty far away from this site, and saw that most other sites were better than this one in this regard. We couldn't find good pictures of this site online before going there and we did not know this except for one other review saying the same. Everything else is good, the neighbors are farther than some other campsites we have been in, the lake is super awesome.
