We loved this campsite! It was secluded and quiet and absolutely beautiful. We were right along the hiking trail and were able to walk to the creek in a few minutes. We were also able to do some fly fishing in the area! The campsite itself and the bathrooms were very clean. I would definitely recommend this site and hope to go back!!

The camp host was not present two of the three nights we were there. The first night the camp behind us was very loud until late into the night. I believe the camp host would have asked them to quiet down if they were there.

Great experience. Campground was welcoming and beautiful. The vault toilets were clean and they had hand sanitizer for those who wished to use it. There were moose and deer in the area. Fished Jefferson Lake, caught several trout about 10" to 12".
