Campground and bathrooms were clean and camp hosts were fantastic! Site 10 is on the outer loop, right by the bathrooms, and doesn't have a lot of shade during the day but was still a beautiful spot. We saw a moose on the way up to the lake! No cell service for Verizon.

This is our favorite campground to go to. We go to see wildlife and fish at Jefferson Lake. This trip did not fail me. The camp host Misty & Ken and the entire staff are super nice and very accommodating. It’s super clean! We will be back up there sooner than later.
