The site was clean, the hosts were very friendly, and there was lots of fun to be had between all of the hiking and fishing.

It’s on top of a freaking mountain, over 8,000 feet above sea level! You also have to drive on what can only be described as the worst gravel road ever for several miles. That being said, the campground itself was delightful. Camp host was nice, bathrooms were super clean, deer come and graze in camp at night. There is also a mischievous bear that searches the camp at night for an easy snack. Overall, it would have been perfect if I didn’t drag a camper trailer up there with a mini van, and end up getting horrible elevation sickness the entire time. Otherwise, it was a great little campground. Also, you can’t swim in the reservoir nearby, but can go fishing and no wake boating. I’m from Wisconsin, so I’m not used to water you can’t swim in.

Nice well-kept campground. The road up to it is pretty rough washboard but you can do it in a sedan. Peaceful and quiet the night we were there, respectful neighbors. The surrounding woods are pretty and the walk to the lake is nice. Facilities were clean.

The location is beautiful, however if you're bringing an rv be prepared to do a day's worth of repairs due to the incredibly deteriorated road.

The hosts were nice. And the campground was good and the bathroom was clean. Nice trail to the Reservoir. But, if I had known the road in was so bad I never would have stayed there. 5 miles of terrible washboard.

Beautiful campground, The campground host kept the bathrooms and common areas immaculate. Cleanest forest service campground ever. A few sites are backwards to traffic direction, not sure why, but we managed.
