This campground is nice but with all campgrounds people are all consumed with having fires! I get it they like a fire...but the morning air inversion layer on calm mornings makes for a terrible experience for those who do not like or are sensitive to smoke. I really wish that this would be a consideration of those who like fires before they decide to smoke out the entire lake.

Clean bathrooms with plenty of paper. Site 48 was nice and had plenty of space. Camp hosts very friendly and helpful.

Pretty quiet for a holiday camping trip! Host was basically non-existentβ¦never came & checked in to confirm our reservation line theyβve done in the past. Weeds around picnic table should be attended to! (Site2). Site 2 still has the old wooden picnic table while other sites have the new metal ones.

Our site was backwards. The picnic table and fire ring were on the opposite side of our trailer door. The vault toilets were a lot closer than they looked like in the picture and the driveway was narrow and short.

Amazing campground! No electric or water hookups but didnβt need them!!!! So beautiful, far apart and peaceful. The vault toilets were super clean with zero smell. Each campsite was spacious and private. Will return again and again

The location is killer and the hike down to the lake is easy. The bathrooms are clean and plentiful. As noted, there are no hookups, however the map shows water fills throughout. The reality is that the water fills cannot be used to fill your RV/Trailer. Please ensure that you fill your water tanks prior to getting to the campground!
