It was a great camp site with water and on site restrooms. We had our trailer with and there was plenty of room at our campsite. They did have wood for sale with the camp steward.

Small Reservoir perfect for paddling (paddle boards, kayaks, canoes etc.) Clean campground.

Tussock moth caterpillars were everywhere. Had to watch out for them dropping off the trees into food or on the kids. There was also a number of fresh cow pies that we had to watch out for. Other than those things, it was a nice place to camp.

Infested. Poisonous caterpillars everywhere and dying trees. Very dirty. We love Sagehen and have been going there for nearly 30 years. Sad at what it has become.

Beautiful campground next to the lake. Wonderful hiking trails and access to the lake was easy and right there. Only problem was going during the peak season of the crazy caterpillars. However, even with them falling from the trees, only two of us got the rash. Overall wonderful spots and plenty of water access.
