This camp was very clean, bathroom clean and trash collected. There was a lot of space between camps. Some are in sun and some in the shade. This should be a Dark Sky Park as the night sky was spectacular. The reflection of the stars on the lake was unforgettable. This was one of the most memorable camps on this trip.

Great place to enjoy the lake. Way too long of a walk to the restroom, there was no water at the spigots. I probably wonβt return.

Great campsite β very clean with a large, spacious area and plenty of parking right in front. Some areas were slightly uneven, but we easily found a perfectly level spot for our rooftop tent, which worked great. The stars were incredible at night with a completely unobstructed view. The bathrooms were clean and just a short walk away. The water level was very low, but we still enjoyed paddle boarding and fishing in the mornings. The camp hosts were very friendly β overall, an amazing campground, and weβll definitely be coming back!
