IMPORTANT NOTE: campsite 4-9 are top of the hill. you need to hike uphill (with your camping stuff) for 2 min to reach it. Good access to beach though.

Kaspian is a great place to stay if you’re thinking to camp out. BathroomS are kept as clean as they can. And there is a ranger on site 24 hours.
Advice: choose campsites #1,2 and 3. These are the best campsites in the whole campground because they are at the bottom. The other camp sites are on a higher lever, which means you will have walk up and down steep stairs through out the day: it gets tiring after two days.
But over all, it’s a good quiet place.

Perfect spot with lake access. It is a bit loud at night with traffic. However, it was great to access of the lake and beach.

The host was very kind. The bathrooms were clean and access to the lake was amazing. I liked our spot on the hill away from the traffic, but it was a haul without direct car access. I will stay there again for sure!

Great location, across the street from the lake. Easy to get to town for a last minute grocery store stop but out of town a bit, near the lake and surrounded by trails. The campground has access to a pier over the water and it was great for laying in the sun and swimming. There are also several trails nearby for a hike or mountain bike ride along the lake or river.

A couple things to take note of:
1. There is a central parking lot(you can't drive right up to your site). There is a big flight of stairs between the parking lot and campsites 4-9 so you'll be hauling all of your equipment, food and other items up and down the stairs. Not the end of the world, but something worth noting when you choose your site location.
2. There are no fires permitted for the 2020 camping season(here or any other nearby site). This was not communicated to us prior to our trip and we had packed foods that needed to be grilled. Plan accordingly and you should be fine.
3. FYI, there is some traffic noise from the road.

A nice weekend and we would plan another trip here in the future.
