We have been to Lyman many times before and would give it a five star rating based on those experiences.
what makes this review a one star rating is that campers at site 2, August 28 and 28 , 2012 were extremely loud with rap music and yelling between 3 AM and 6:30 AM both nights . Also they could ge heard felling trees with a chainsaw.
I contacted Recreation.gov who assured me they were sending me an urgent request link that would help the forest service know that there was an issue that day . All we did receive was a “how is our website” survey . I also called delta county dispatch received a call from s deputy who assured me they would check the site and call or text me with a report. We never heard back. Campers at every other site on the lake left by August 27 certainly due to the campers at site 2. It would be nice if there was a better protocol available for dealing with bad campers .

Lot’s of room per site with no one nearby. Lake is small but beautiful, wish we had a kayak. There was some trash, pop cans, cigarette butts and candy wrappers left on the ground that picked up, wish people would be more aware of their littering. Dirt roads are a little scary and low hanging tree branches need to be watched. We stayed at site #9 and will be coming back when we are in the area.

We stayed at site 1 and it was quite private with a really nice view. It was a tight fit getting into with our 16' trailer.
