The site was clean, as were the restrooms. This is a very nice campground that is well maintained.

A great lake to camp at. Our only complaint was that it was very difficult to get a reservation that reasonably fit our schedule. Otherwise, it was great! Host was kind, and bathrooms were acceptable.

A beautiful lakefront tent site with no mosquitos, quiet night, and peaceful atmosphere. The restroom was very clean; neighbors were great; an overall wonderful experience. We hiked a 4.8 mile one-way trail and back earlier in the day - North Lone Pine Trail. We also did the 2.2 mile hike/walk around Dowdy Lake the next morning. I say YES if you are thinking about camping here.
