I love this place. It's beautiful and it's not overcrowded like a lot of other camping spots. I love that you have the lake and mountains in the background. The park rangers were pretty nice too.

Had a nice quiet time with family. The Ranger was friendly, and the bathrooms were clean. Fishing wasn’t good because of the Pike population eating the other species. Still a good time, and we were protected by the willows from the wind that whistles down the valley.

The amount of vehicles included in this site price are VERY UNCLEAR. Additionally the staff that handles these issues are extremely rude. I love the park itself, but the issues surrounding it almost make it not worth the trouble.

We had a lot of fun! My husband hasn't seen all of the stars away night before, and we were in the perfect place for viewing. I would highly recommend this area to anyone. The only issue we had was: we tried fishing but were unsuccessful because the water was so high into the willows our lines kept getting caught. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable experience!
