It was very pretty! Great showers. Very quiet and peaceful. Difficult to fish from the bank of the lakes but we were directed to a pond and had a great time fishing there!

Nice quiet campground with spacious sites. Was really too hot for a lot of hiking. Looking forward to going again in cooler weather

The site and facilities were fine. No problems there.
As a local who has camped there many times over the last twenty years I was a little frustrated with the current management company. The website advertising states "two cars per site max" which is what its always been for my entire life....but what they don't tell you is now you have to pay the day use fee for the second car for each day of the stay. Three day stay? That's an extra 24 dollars on top of the 92 paid for the site...just to have a second vehicle (non tow vehicle) in the same site you've already paid for in the campground you've already paid to be in. Historically, the second car was included with the camping fee.
The current management company is hands down the worst I've seen in 20 years.
It was a little frustrating the lack of flexibility too as we were canoeing the blue river one day and would arrive back about an hour after the noon check out. I was unable to attain a late (1~2 hours) so instead I had to pack my camper up at 445am to make the canoeing. Kind of silly to wake the whole place up packing up and hooking up at 445am when all I needed was an hour or two tops to return from canoeing to pack up. The site was *not* rented for that night so nobody was coming in. Just frustrating experience overall.
