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.

The campground was nice. There’s a table and fire pit at every camp. The lake is a pond, and there really isn’t much to offer. The restroom was clean. Wouldn’t return.
Zero cell service.

The campsite is totally slanted. It was horrible winds and then a day into our stay the fire restrictions made it so we couldn't have any fire at all not even a propane stove. We ended up leaving after 1 night when our reservation was for 4 nights 5 days.

My family really enjoyed this campground. Our campground host David was amazing. We've been to a lot of campgrounds and David is by far the best. He made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and made sure we were comfortable. Definitely going back and hopefully David will be the host. It was real nice being able to walk right down to Jackson lake in just a few minutes. If you're looking for a small campground with spacious camp sites and a great host, this is the place.

I dont like crowds and this place is great for that! Helpful camp host, clean site and restroom. Bummed that the fire restriction was in effect even as a rainstorm was blowing in, but hey--it is what it is. Lots of big trees, and the night sky is incredible here.
