Enjoyed our stay here, remote, but still within 20 minutes or so back to find supplies and fuel. Hosts were friendly and helpful. The road through the camp area is one to be cautious on as it is narrow, with deep ditches you don’t really want to drop a wheel off into. Nice views of the water. Will not hesitate to drop in again.

Day 9 of 10 for this trip. Very friendly staff in office. She reminded me to use our "America the Beautiful" pass for half off campsite fee. Site was level with a fire pit and picnic table. My wife randomly selected campsite #4 which happened to be right next to the lake. What an incredible sunset. Wanted to stay another night but needed to keep moving towards home. Would definitely stay there again.

I was very pleased with the campground and the site on which we stayed. My family and I had a wonderful time and will add this campground to one of our top 5 favorite campgrounds.

Peaceful little camp ground. Most sites have a pretty lake view and several are adjacent to the sandy beach. Sites 12 and 16 are great for small trailers or campervans. They say "16 feet or less" but our 18 foot van had no problems. Restrooms a bit rustic but clean.
