What Guests Are Saying
Lake Nineteen Campsite offers a small but pleasant setting with flat areas suitable for two small tents and good access to the lake. However, there were concerns about aggressive dogs from nearby campers and noise disturbances. The lack of a latrine is noted as a downside, suggesting that a simple pit toilet could enhance the experience.

As we got there, we were loading stuff in the boat to get across the other side to the other side the people at a campsite right at the boat lunch had a dog, and it ran up and almost bit. My kids and girlfriend very upset about it there was no fish And the people on the other side we asked him to keep it down, cause we could hear them all the way across the lake.

Small but nice camp site with room for two small tents on flat areas with beds of pine needles. Good lakeside water access. It is disappointing that there is no latrine provided. A simple pit toilet could be constructed judging by the surrounding terrain.

Got to say I could have had a better experience if where my campground was mapped out for me a little bit better no trails LED there couldn't find the trail if it was to lead there even the horseback rider said they didn't know how to get over there and I had seen seven different horse back riding groups and all of them said there's no way over to the other side of the lake unless it was by boat

It was a beautiful spot in an amazing area. Unfortunately its been ignored for the last three years and the area is in shambles. Former excellent stocked trout lake has no trout, only pan fish. Outhouse on Ironjaw not maintained unhealthy and unusable. The trails are riddled with horse manure making hiking impossible. A gem turned into a sewer hole.

We were never able to find the site because the “trail” that went around was almost non existence. We spent the whole first night trying to find it and around midnight found the equestrian camping and stayed there both nights. We were highly disappointed
