Beautiful, quiet location. Our rig lost all battery power and we couldn't close or pull up leveling jacks. No cell service either. So as we wondered what to do next, some young women camping next to us offered their car for us to go find cell service and call for help. As we were contemplating this, a park staff member came by to check on the camping site. We told him our dilemma and he went out of his way to get a small portable generator which was enough to start us up. Outstanding service by the park staff and the young women camping near us. One knows the risk of camping off grid but assumes it all works out in the end. Thanks to these folks it did. Beautiful place to be.

Lovely small campground nestled next to a small picturesque lake. We saw a beaver (Lake's namesake) swimming very close to the shore. There are only a few sites, pit toilet and a boat launch for kayaks. There is non-potable water available. The road down is winding but well maintained. Not for anything very large or trailers. Site #5 has gravel and can hold a vehicle 22-23 ft in length.

We suggest using the other campgrounds if pulling a camper as the sites are snug for parking. Beautiful drive in and the trail is awesome!
