Considered giving it a 1 star just because it was beautiful and perfect, would love it to never be booked so we can always enjoy it. Will def be returning for years to come. There’s no service, quiet space, and a nice beach for the kiddos to play.

Great location. The lake at the campsite is large and has a nice beach. The campsite was perfect because it’s close to Stanley and is accessible to hiking and recreation in the Sawtooths.

Campground was great, lake was beautiful and a 5 min walk from camping. Lake was NOT busy in morning and evening. Not much to do right around the campground and no verizon service. Camp host was friendly.

This place is amazing!! The campground has very mature trees and most of the campsites offer a decent amount of privacy thanks to said trees. The lake is just gorgeous and there's more than enough beach for everyone. My dog and I enjoyed several hours at the dog beach. Wood was available for purchase from the camp host, but I could tell that wasn't his favorite thing to do. Can't wait to go back!!

Great clean campground next to the lake, awesome fishing in the creek flowing into the lake as well. Camp host was friendly.

Campsite had so much dog poop all over, it was disgusting. Hopefully it was just dog poop. Too many people who wouldn’t pick up after their dogs, wouldn’t keep their dogs on a leash, took their dogs into the lake (not allowed) and were loud and obnoxious after 10pm.

Great campsite, short walk to the lake, plenty of room between us and the next sites. Only issue was some people driving their dirt bikes around the camp

Campground was full every night. Beach area was dominated by easy ups and people leaving their belongs for a week staking their area. There is no rangers at the campground, so people break the rules without regard.
