The views were amazing. The weather was really nice, warm but not hot. I wish there were more toilets, we had a bit of a walk to get to one. Overall, a wonderful place to be!

The drive in was 18-20 mi of washboard gravel road. Pulling a trailer this was not optimal. Site 20 is not level anywhere. We had to use tree rounds that were about 12 inches to level our trailer out. I couldn't see in camp a level spot for a tent either. The campground in itself is beautiful just not sure this site should be camped in. Maybe a picnic spot? Hiking and kayaking on the lake was great. If we ever go back we'll pick a different site.

Absolutely love this place! So many trees, tons of shade, great views and just relaxing. Lots of trails to walk, ride dirt bikes, fishing, rafts in the water, kayaks --- Just a great place to camp with the family.
