Campground was quiet at night (this year), and campsite was clean. Not even a scrap of plastic or cigarette butt! Thanks!

This location is a hub of trails, and kayaks let us extend to locations we can no longer walk to.

Still like this campground as its small but it's so busy with non campers driving through. Site 4 had a nice trail down to lake were you could launch kayaks if wanted. Site 2 and 3 do as well not sure on the others.

Campsite was amazing! It was my wife's first time camping and we had an amazing time. Facilities were exactly as advertised, the toilets are pit toilets so don't expect luxury (or flushing and bring hand sanitizer!) We enjoyed a short hike out to 12 mi beach which was definitely worth it. Be aware, there are bears here, we saw one on our drive into the site, but everything is bear proof and there are food bins if you hike in. Can't wait to come to pictured rocks again soon!

I was not quite as comfortable at this site as the others on my visit to the area. I stayed the day. I did not camp. I enjoyed kayaking on the lake. I would like to try it again another time and see if it can provide a better experience. I had no cell service using Verizon. That was fine except that I couldn't find my campsite and couldn't open my reservation to figure it out. There was no host at this site. When I was driving out I saw a park service truck coming in. I don't know if he was going to the campsite or if he could have helped me. I had already decided to leave. Part of the reason I left was to avoid driving on the steep pothholed road with a big storm on the way.
