The campground host Tim was really nice and welcoming. This area is very beautiful and off the beaten path which we love. The hike to skinny finish lake was steep but rewarding!

Our stay was great! Tim, our host was excellent. The bathrooms and camp grounds were very clean and Tim was always checking to make sure we have everything we need. He even loaned us firewood so we could “pay” him back in the morning. We would definitely stay here again!
I would definitely rec lots of mosquito repellent… that was the only downside.. which should be expected. So much to explore and enjoy!
