What Guests Are Saying

Lake Campground offers a pleasant camping experience with clean facilities and friendly staff. Campsite 006 is highly recommended due to its elevated position and proximity to the lake, which is just a short walk away. However, campsites 005 and others near the restroom face issues with odor and noise, making them less desirable.

Was hoping we could set up campfire to keep warm and to cook. Sadly wasn’t able to do one. Had to leave after the first night due to not being able to cook. Want to try again at a different season.

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.

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.

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.
