Nice campground but most sites are far from the lake. Probably would go for other campsites on Turquoise Lake next time.

This is one of my favorite all time campgrounds. Right at the back you can go right into the lake with kayaks/canoes and the view is absolutely breathtaking. If you get a site off a bit from the road, it’s super secluded feeling and there’s good tree cover. Highly recommend for tent campers!

Beautiful trails to walk and site are close to the lake and river. Site hosts are extremely friendly and each site is a pull-through making it easy to drive in and out.

All of the sites are great. The campground host has wonderful hiking suggestions. Great place to stay with kids of hiking/exploring age.

It was a very nice and quiet campground. We had a beautiful remote site toward the back of the park. The facilities were very clean. My only complaint were the mosquitos, flies and bees while cooking (it was due to a rainy spring and unavoidable). Bring repellent and citronella candles! Beautiful hiking trails were very close with abundant wild flowers and lakes! I highly recommend May Queen campground.

Great location along the lake. Lots of mosquitos. Saw a bald eagle, which was a great way to end our camping journey.

A wonderful campground with very nice host couple. Our site 22 was very spacious with a magnificent view of Turquoise Lake and the mountains. The bathrooms were kept very clean. Kayaking on the lake brought us close to several bald eagles along the shore.
