Super quick walk to the water from this site! Felt very secluded to have part the ridge to yourself; right next to water spigot and bathrooms. Definitely recommend!

We had a great site with no one around us. The nice part of it was we were protected from the wind. Unfortunately the water level was low and we were not able to kayak. Pray for more snow this winter.

Very nice campground. Lake was low but great for paddling around. Due to fires in west, smoky but great sunsets.

This is very nice campground! The Ridge has great views of the mountains and detailed boulder landscaping. Nice tent area in the Valley. But the water pump broke down. Bring water!!
