We stayed at Site # 2. Great location feels private. Very well maintained, immaculate bathrooms. Able to use Starlink. Vera and Rick the camp hosts were very helpful. We were welcomed by a Moose trotting through the campground heading to the river to eat. Close to Taylor Lake. We fished off the shoreline and caught our bag limit in a couple hours! Tasty Rainbows! Definitely will be back!

Cleanest campground bathrooms you’ll ever come across. Seriously, the host at Lottis Creek does an impeccable job - kudos to her. The group site is wonderful, the pavilion is spacious and private. We are definitely coming back.

Absolutely beautiful! If you have the opportunity to stay at this site I highly recommend it! All of the sites are far enough apart that you have plenty of privacy, and you are always close by to the restrooms and water spouts. The camp host was super friendly and welcomed us right away! She always stopped by to check in on us when she went on her rounds. If you’re tent camping in early June make sure you bring a heater and a long extension cord as the nights can be very cold, but if you prepare right you should be fine. Town can be a 30-45 minute drive so make sure you have everything you need before you arrive. Overall this was one of the most beautiful sites I’ve ever camped at and I look forward to visiting it again in the future!
