This was probably the worst campsite I've ever seen: no shade, no privacy, no room... Nope!

I almost don't want to leave a review so people don't know how good it is.

This is a nice campground. The sites are fairly close to each other, so if you get noisy neighbors, it can be annoying.
The facilities are well maintained, and service staff is pleasant and organized. We like the location, as it is close to several great hikes. We did not spend any time on the lake.
