What Guests Are Saying

Lake Campground is a clean and quiet facility, conveniently located just a short walk from the lake, making it a great spot for camping. Most campers enjoyed their stay, praising the friendly ranger and the overall pleasant atmosphere. However, some sites, particularly number 5, are near the pit toilets and may have unpleasant odors, and the terrain can be uneven at times.

We stayed at spot #2. It’s on a small slope but seen that an area has been flattened for a tent. A plus is that it’s close to two water spickets and the restroom. My fiancee and I lived the site, the lake is a 5 min walk away. Definitely will be returning.

We moved from this campground to Mountain Oak campground. Lake campground is right on the highway with very small sites. We were in a B van, not a tent, so maybe that was the problem.

The campground looked decent but the camp site number 5 was really close to the restroom! As soon as we tried to set up our tent. all we can smell was the restroom. We had to leave. If you want to visit the campground do any other number except 5
