The campsite was great! Shade and plenty of space between campers. My t-mobile registered one or two bars. We plan on coming back!

Nice campground! Everyone's a bit close but site 12 is a nice distance away. There is a fence preventing exploration towards the dam due to private property. Because of this some people tried to walk right through our site not knowing they couldn't go much further than that. Site 12 is a walk in site maybe 100 yards, the parking area is pretty small so the 2 car max is non-negotiable. Lots of fishermen out, but lots of trout still. Would come back!

Nice setting and campground host keeps it clean. Not having fresh water was the only downside.
