Pretty good campsite. The camp hosts were friendly and introduced themselves to us. Lots of families around. The site we stayed at had a ton of flies and ants - there were huge ant hills all around - so be careful for sure. Also there is an $8 entry fee for each car on top of the camp reservation.

Just returned from another great camp here. A well kept campground except did have issues this trip with the conditions of the restrooms. I could tell they weren't cleaned daily and one of the men's room doors needed a new lock. Do get a good workout trying to water out from the handpump. Great location and plenty of shade at certain sites. Jefferson Lake is a short drive away and a nice trail to take at the one end of the campground. Saw plenty of wildlife including moose. Planning on returning next year. Hosts were nice and were able to answer any questions we had about the area.
