Water was a bit low this year and you will definitely need bug spray. Carry bear spray as we saw black bears on the hiking trail. Bathrooms were very clean.

Nice sites and enjoyed lake. A bit dusty. Site 17 was great for a few tents with lots of shade.

The camp host was great and very informative. The campsite did not have active water. Had to visit the nearby campground for water.

A great campground! The bathrooms were immaculate and the whole campground was so well maintained. Sadly the water was too rough and windy to go paddle boarding but had a great time staying at the campground. Some bears in the area but had no issues. Definitely want to stay again!

Excellent campground. Extremely well maintained pit toilets.. the camp host. Jeff was very friendly and really on top of his job. He came around, nightly to make sure that we have everything that we need. His attention to the bathrooms really made for a great experience.
