Beautiful campsite, clean bathrooms, walking distance to Jefferson Lake. We stayed in site 9, and fell asleep listening to the creek behind us every night. Wonderful place, we will be back.

Great experience. Wish the road in was better taken care of. There is only about a mile or two that is rough but it is really rough. Not four-wheel drive rough but uncomfortable for a travel trailer.

The campground was very quiet as it was during the week and there were only about 1/4 of the sites used. It got down to the 40's at night so we were glad we had a comforter as well as our sleeping bags.

I had the site next to the outhouse, so it was a bit smelly. It was the last site available, had to deal with it. Nice enough campground, bathrooms were reasonably clean, most people were quiet. Saw a moose and her calf walking through the campground one early morning.
