Site 3 is up in the trees and you can't see the road very well. The campsites across the road are pretty exposed so we were thankful of the uphill position. Campsites 2 and 4 are pretty close. Fire ring and grill were clean. Not many level areas to pitch a tent though! Reservoir was low which was pretty cool, you could see evidence of old mining activity and other artifacts. Not many good places to fish!

The campsite was mostly OK. They were a little too close together without any vegetation separating them. Too much noise from surrounding campers.

Dan is a great and accommodating host whom works hard and often has campers knocking on his door late looking for sites. Super location for hiking, road biking, lake level is very low this year, long carry for paddle sports.
Close to CT and timberline lake.

We had campsite 1, Which offered some privacy, but the tent pad was awful, on a slope. Had to move a good distance from our table to have a flat space for the tent. I also noticed other campsites were way too close together and also had bad tent pads, sloping and too small. The restroom was NOT clean. The reason I gave a fair rating was because we enjoyed the peace and quiet. Few other people came due to rain I suppose.
