First and foremost the campground hosts were outstanding. Friendly enough to feel that from the moment I was at my site, I had a contact for any issue that could arise; sensitive enough to realize we mostly just wanted to be alone. We had a very pleasant stay at site 13. Restrooms clean. I was annoyed that work was being done at the dam and one morning awoke to the beep beep beep of heavy machinery and semi trucks.

Beautiful location and amazing campground hosts. If you’re into fishing, there’s tons of opportunity.

Our stop was great and provided stunning views. Spots 02-06 are very close to each other so not a tone of privacy and fortunately for us there was only our spot (04) and spot (06) being occupied at the moment. There is some construction at the damn next door so morning traffic could be heard from the campsite. Other than that enjoy the fly fishers and great steep hike next to campsite. Once you make it to the top you have a stunning view of the damn and reservoir.

This is a great campground in a wonderful setting. So glad we came here. We have a small trailer (T@B 320S) and it is a perfect site for this.
