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.
