Nice quiet campground; smaller than the others along the road to Jefferson Lake. The hosts keep everything very clean including the toilets. Lots of wildlife around. Quick drive up to the lake. Nearby trails for hiking.

Nice smaller campsite that is located close to Jefferson Lake. Pit toilets and actual campsites were well maintained. Camp hosts Kevin and Misty were great.

We loved the campground, but our spot, #9, was right by the outhouse and when the wind blew just right, the smell was awful. There was no mention of this when I made the reservation or on the map when I picked the spot. If I had known that this spot was so close to the outhouse, I would have chosen another spot because I made my reservations 6 months in advance.
