Great campground, though we were frustrated that the water spouts were inoperable, and apparently had been for over a year.

The hosts kept the facilities very clean (bathrooms were constantly being swept/restocked). The campsites were large and plenty of space between us and the other campsites. Great location and view of Turquoise Lake.

Clean sites and bathrooms. Short walk to the water and the views were amazing.
No food lockers to protect from wildlife but we put our food in the car with no issue.
Will definitely be back when I can paddle on the lake, it was a bit windy this early in the season.
