awesome campground. clean, close to the lakes, wooded....I was worried it might be too close to the road, but it absolutely was not. Will go again.

Lake is awesome, campground is a little run down and old. The spot I had was reserved for my last day so I packed up and moved, then those people never showed up. The speed limit could be better posted and followed, mostly to keep dust down. But all said I will visit here again as I have the last three years ☺️

Amazing view, easy to find. Can’t beat the lake and Mountain View’s. Short drive to one of the Mount Albert trailheads.

We had a terrific campsite about a quarter mile from the lake. We didn't catch any fish but the moon was full. The campsite was clean and level and plenty roomy enough for our 35' fifth-wheel. The evenings were perfect for a campfire and the young ones had a great time.
