No water is still a problem. Campground host failed to provide any day use permit resulting in a fine for fishing at May queen campground. Service seems to be going downhill while price rises each year

Baby Doe Site #10 was stellar! The site is one of the closest to the lake with gorgeous views and a spacious feel. There are a ton of lodgepole pines that provide ample shade. There are several trails leading to the lake and also around the lake. It's a great campsite to bring bikes. This site is close to the bathrooms and dumpster which made it easy with our kiddos (especially at night!). The flat surface near the picnic table was able to fit a 6-person and a 10-person tent with ease. This place was awesome and we will definitely be back next summer!

Wonderful level spot for our 30 ft motorhome. Very private with space between campsites and picnic table and fire pit behind the RV in an open area. Short walk to the lake. Facilities very clean. One of our favorite spots.

The campground was clean and well maintained. You can see the lake from campsite.it will be great if there was water supply.
