Many of the campsites need more gravel added and I have made this comment for the last two years, when it rains heavy the sites stay wet much longer and get muddy due to low gravel. Many dead trees hanging over several sites the Forest Service needs to get in there and cut down before they fall on a trailer or a camper!!
Need to consider adding electric to all non electric sites many tent campers are now taking up electric sites leaving fewer sites open for RV campers and many of the non-electric sites will accommodate RV's and have very nice views of the lake, I do believe if this was done an increase in profits may be gained here...

Campground was maintained 100x better than it was with the previous management. But they still need to freshen up the gravel on the campsites, they need to cut the brush and weeds away from the sites more. They also need to open up both lanes to traffic at the entrance gate so the people who already have their passes can go on through without waiting in a 45 minute line. Overall the staff is a lot nicer than with previous management.

The campground overall was kept, clean and sites were nice. Staff was friendly. The trails were fun for teens and adults. My only thing keeping it from being a perfect experience was the beach being open to people besides campers. I was there was just a camping beach. There were some unsavory characters at the beach.
