Giving this campground a 1 star due to what seems like a scam from the camp host. We paid for our campsite on line and then paid the day use fee at the self-serve pay station Friday evening when we arrived (2 days, totaling $18). When my husband went into the town for fishing supplies on Saturday, the camp host INSISTED that he pay the day use fee AGAIN when he was re-entering the campground area. He explained multiple times that we had already paid the fees the night before through the self-service envelope. However, she made him pay another $9 day use fee anyway. She said that, "that's just what I was told we had to do." We feel like this is a scam and the camp host is pocketing the money! Be ware.

Despite the cold, sleet, hail and wet, we had a great weekend. The sites were nicely leveled & well spaced. The surroundings were beautiful. Loved the beaver activity & even saw Moose three different times.
