Just so you know...The forestry service did a control burn in and around the camp ground. Still a great place to camp.

Really nice for quite and relaxation, with only 10 campsites but only 4 with electric and water hookup. No sewer hookup or dump station. Camel Lake was nice to paddle board on, didn't see any gators, but heard they are there. Mostly active at night is what we heard. But we did see a Eastern diamond back rattle snake yikes 4 1/2 ft long while out walking on the trail. Bathroom only had 1 shower with push button shower, Needs to be updated, pain to have to keep pushing to get your shower in. 1 bath shower for women and 1 for men. It did have 1 toilet for women and 1 for men in the camp area itself and 1 each up by the Lake area. If you just want peace and relaxation and out in the forest it is that indeed. 2 mi bumpie road to get back into the campground... go slow! Wished they had full hookup and more sites with electric and water..

Beautiful park in a fabulous area, camp host was great. Lake is lovely but very small- more like a pond, good for a quick paddle.

the bathrooms need to be cleaner better. There's dirt in the corners and cobweb on the walls and parts of the ceiling. There was a tree down on the trail around the lake, it would be nice to get it cut down.
