The campground is nice with plenty of space between the sites. Our site was level & didn't even need the orange blocks. The views are beautiful and the lake is small but great for a relaxing paddle around the water. What isn't great is the other campers who don't bother to leash their dogs. There is the rule that dogs have to be on a 6 foot leash but nobody enforces it. The camp host does nothing. After the dog next to my campsite charged me after I came out of our RV and I mentioned this to the camp host the next day, he told me that for anything to be done, your dog or yourself has to be hurt. This has become a more increasing problem over the last few years and it is time that the national and state parks start following what private campgrounds do. Allowing people to do whatever they want, and not following the dog leash laws, ruins the whole camping experience.

While we were there the Pearl Fire was happening and our hosts kept everyone informed with the latest information. The campground is well maintained and the facilities are clean. Some camp spots could use erosion mitigation and gravel to help with the dust.
