VerifiedAugust 11, 2025 • Stayed at: 013, Loop: SAGE
Campsite itself was great with nicely spaced-out sites and good tent pads. Some of the sites (not all) have incredible views of the lake and mountains, others have a view entirely obscured by the hill that the good-view campsites sit on. 12 would have been fantastic, 13 (mine) had no view.
Downside is that fellow campers were clearly inexperienced with some of the basics of primitive-ish campgrounds. I wish these campgrounds had showers and flush toilets because other campers just couldn't figure out how to keep the pit toilet clean and odor/fly free (well... as low odor/fly as you ever get with them). The weekend crowd also didn't seem to be particularly bear aware and were dumping food waste near my campsite (at least it wasn't on theirs?!?). Monday to Wednesday were pretty nice, mostly RVing families with kids. Thursday to Sunday were chaos with a lot of clueless campers who were loud, in really big groups, totally clueless about bear/pit toilets, and just generally disruptive.

I've camped at White Star for at least 25+ years. The campground has always been super clean. We arrived Monday and Left Friday. This time the bathrooms weren't cleaned from Tuesday thru Thursday Morning. The toilet paper ran out. Someone had diarrhea in the bathroom on Tuesday. Making the experience very unpleasant. Maybe it's the cutbacks?
