Clean campgrounds.
Weekdays less people makes it more enjoyable due to less noise at night.

We went during the week and it was lovely and quiet. Wish we had known our site was hilly--we couldn't get enough chaulk blocks to level the RV out. Great walk 1/2 way around Turquoise Lake.

We enjoyed our one-night-stay. Our space was easy to back into and we felt like we were the only people in the forest. It was wonderful not to be overcrowded. The host, Trudy, was very welcoming and shared tips about the area. I would definitely love to visit again.

Nice location, walking distance to the lake. Nice host Trudy, thank you. Spacious area, can set up two tents. Not too far from the restroom, but decent distance from neighboring sites. Clean restroom.

Awesome campground - sites spread out, private, shaded. Bathrooms clean and the campground host was friendly and hardworking. Tons of mushrooms. Short walk to the lake. Beautiful!
