A beautiful setting. Quite picturesque. Quiet, with no generators running at all! We would go back again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic little campground! Most of the sites are spaced pretty far apart, and the wildflowers are spectacular. The water pump near my site wasn't working, and it was a long walk carrying water buckets. Some sites are in need of leveling. These were minor issues, though. Deer visited several times during my stay, and I watched the osprey hunt in the lake. Dumont is a fabulous little campground!
