Beautiful corner of the world. The campsites are perfect for a woodsy family camping experience. The lake was great trout fishing. The hosts were fantastic and helpful. I loved this place and will try to return every year!
Terrible washboard roads on the way up, really rattled the trailer.

Great site for a larger group with additional free overflow parking. Very shaded, right by the lake with lots of extra picnic tables and 3 fire pits, one of them is elevated for easy cooking. Close to vault toilet.
Flies, bees and wasps were a nuisance, so definitely bring some traps. We had a great time.

Very family and kid friendly atmosphere. Linda is the best campground host, and she takes care of any obnoxious or loud people so that others can enjoy the outdoors. Additionally, the facilities are very clean and well maintained; really impressed. We came up multiple times last season, it never disappoints. The lake is great for kids, really enjoyed each visit, thanks

Been coming to Antelope for the last 21 years. A very peaceful lake and campground. Bathrooms are clean and campsites are shady with lots of trees. Great lake for kayaking and paddle boards.
