Campground is fairly small, some sites have little separation. Water is from a handpump and it is a work out to get 5 gallons. There was no campground host, so the toilets were dirty. it is a nice area, close to Jefferson lake. The beavers are very active along Jefferson Creek.

Great place to camp, however the lake was filled with paddle boards who think they own the lake. Ruin a couple of fishing lines I had out in the water!

Fabulous campsite although we could smell the toilet when the wind blew in the right direction, which seemed often. Delicious well water!

Site 001 flooded unfortunately on July 17 which resulted in us having to pack everything up and bail. Every bit of 001 was effectively a deep puddle.
Aside from that, the location is lovely, it seems most of the other sites were fine and not flooded. I would do this campground again, though probably not this specific site.
I would recommend.

The campground is beautiful. Unfortunately the camp hosts were completely inattentive. They didn’t do any cleaning of campsites after campers left. There was trash in the fire pits, no toilet paper in the vault toilet. And trash left outside the dumpsters was just left there.
