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.

There were several other campers but they were so quiet you’d never know it. A pretty spot and central to many hikes.

Had an enjoyable time camping in the snow. Pretty campground, did not have the chance to spend time at the lake. Good location.

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.
