This is a nice spot. We were met by the camp host Lois, and given a welcome and review of rules, etc. Clean and quiet.

On site 8 with a great view of the lake. Some sites a little close together but overall nicely spaced. Obvious that improvements to the sites have been done recently. Very nice 4 mi trail around the lake as well as a 6 mi bike loop. Bathhouses were satisfactory and clean, though partially closed at random times. Never saw the camp host while we were there. Rangers did drive through regularly. Would happily return.
