Most of the camp sites are very short and seem like they are mostly designed for tents, but the campground is clean and quiet and there is a lot of wildlife and nice scenery.

Such a beautiful campsite! We only stayed for one night but the bathroom was clean, the host was extremely kind, and the rest of the campers were all awesome and respectful. We felt very safe and had a great time exploring the nearby trails. It does get cold at night (as expected in the mountains) but just a reminder to bring warm clothes and a warm sleeping bag. Will certainly return!

Great location, amazing views and weather. Lake is beautiful. Quiet and even though you are close to other sites it feels private. Bring bug spray. Signal is also great.

First time at this campground and the host was great and offered to help backing the camper in.
Nice and quiet campground and space #10 has nice shaded areas with the trees.
We'll be back.
