We camped at Logger Campground in early October, and of the 260 campsites about 30 were being used. This is very normal occupancy for this time of year at Logger as we have been camping here for forty years. As we picked out a nice site we were informed by the Forest Service person that we would HAVE to change sites in two day. We were told that the rules were the rules and there were no exceptions. We had to find cell service and make an on-line reservation. The entire campground was very empty for our entire stay of 5 nights.
A little flexibility would have gone a long ways. I know the Forest Service can manage campgrounds better than this. I would have handled the situation differently ... just inform us we may have to move if a reservation comes in. The chance of that happening was very remote.

Our camp in 2021 was awesome but why would you not open the campground until Saturday (5-28-2022) at 2:00PM on Memorial Day weekend? REALLY? That is ridiculous.
You should open the Thursday before Memorial Day.

Logger campground is an annual Memorial Day event for us for almost 20 years. Until 2020 we have always been allowed to come up a day or two before opening day. Never had an issue until then. They won’t open the gates until exactly 2:00 pm on the Friday of Memorial Weekend. Super frustrating.

The campground is well kept. Restrooms are clean and were always maintained during my stay. The area has lots of pine trees for shade, good for hanging camping equipment between trees such as rope, lights, hammock etc. Campground is a short walk to the lake.

Lake level was 55% full. So there was no water in the cove, to park a boat near campsite.
