My wife and I really enjoyed our time at the lake. There was only one thing that was not to our liking and that was:
People had used the woods as a toilet and it was not very nice walking past toilet paper and crap if we went that way for a walk. We will camp there again this year if we can get the site for the time we can go camping.
Thank You

We love how the site is very secluded and right on the lake with easy access and easy launch for kayaks and canoes. The site is very spacious with plenty of woods around to explore. At the time that we stayed it was into the blueberry season, so I definitely enjoyed picking berries in the area for a pancake breakfast. We will be back every year if we can!!

I have a complaint or two. One there is a family that rents site 3 every year and they don't take their trailers off the site like your suppose to every 2 weeks. I don't think it is fair for the same people to stay on the same site all summer and there is never a Park ranger that comes and checks on who is staying and who is not. I don't know if they are just putting it in someone else's name for the every two weeks but this shouldn't be allowed. I have grandkids that camp with me and the other sites as far as swimming or fishing from shore stink. We may be finding a new place to camp because no one else has the chance to rent this site. Some of the sites the trees are to close together making it difficult to swing our trailers in and out. No picnic tables either.

When we arrived the fire was still burning and full of trash, dirty diapers, food plastic water bottles etc. There was watermelon thrown all over the woods and the ground in the campsite was torn up from vehicles. Spent hours trying to reach the forest service and ended up driving a long way to find an open site at another campground. We have stayed here many times in the past but most likely not again unless the forest service starts to patrol the campground more to stop the violators.
