Love this site. However a few four wheelers were using the road in as a trail. Not the kind of privacy we were hoping for.

This was just the kind of campsite we are always looking for. Remote, on a nice lake, with only two campsites. The vault toilet was clean and well maintained. Close enough to town if you want to get out and about.

Not a campground, it is a great place to get maps and information on the area. The staff was so helpful and made me feel at home in the forest.
