Campsite was amazing, the road has a lot of larger rocks in it and they are sharp, one went through our tire on the way into our site. The lake was very clear, fishing this year was not good at all. Wasn’t able too catch very many in the 2 weeks we were there. All in all we will be back!

Vert beautiful and extremely private campsite! I booked site 1 a few days before we planned on arriving (Sept). Site 1 does not have a toilet so plan accordingly however the trade off for being completely alone and far away from the other sites is well worth it.

You can drive all the way into the site, there's vaulted toilets. This is a massive, lakeside site. There's a boat ramp across the lake and plenty of other sites in the area, however it does feel pretty secluded. Beautiful spot for the northern lights. Don't be like the people before us and leave litter everywhere or burn things that aren't meant to be, but have fun!
