Our camping site was lovely only too many mosquitos in the evening. The bathrooms were kept very clean, except for the time my husband wanted to use it and it was locked. Was someone inside? Or was the floor drying? A short walk to the lake then along the lakeshore was a highlight. Beautiful!
The ashes were never cleaned out of the fiepits as I have experienced in other campgrounds.

Campground is well maintained, but no water available this year. Trailers trigger an additional vehicle pass PER DAY, so be aware.

I do not recommend spot 29 for trailers. The angle of the driveway on the one way road required us to back-up 300 ft to get into it. Several other spots in loop b were the same. Bathroom was clean. Camp host was pleasant. So many mosquitoes in mid-July. A lot of ponds throughout the campsite. Quiet. I could not find the trailhead to get to the lake.

Campground is protected by trees from windy days found at the reservoir beach.

The description for Silver Dollar #16 said that it would accommodate a 30 ft trailer. However, the driveway is very short and best for tent camping, and it is often muddy at the base. It is inclined and would be difficult for a short tent trailer. Thankfully, the camphost found us a another site that would accept our 23 ft. hardside trailer. The camphost was great.

One of my favorite campgrounds, the sites are not too close together and there are plenty of trees and shade in the tall pines. The host at this campground was very nice and gave great info about the short walk to Turquoise Lake from my site. It is very easy to get on the Turquoise Lake nature trail from the site. As an extra plus, the host keeps the bathrooms very clean.
Thanks for a great stay!

This is a beautiful campground. However, this particular camp site is horrible for tent camping. We slept on a slanted hill, as the only option. The weather was rainy and cold so we bailed the second night.
