Bayview is beautiful. We had a site that was very near the road along side the park and it was a little disturbing through the night.

We really enjoy the BayView campground. The hosts this year were excellent, and kept the campsites tidy, and did a great job with the restrooms. We really appreciate the hosts working so hard and they deserve a big thank you for the National Forrest Service.

I don't know where to start! This is our ultimate campground! Not only is it the views, and large lots but the hosts are the BEST! Val and Ron go above and beyond in making sure everything runs smooth. The lots are always clean and raked! We cherish knowing they are hosts . Only regret would be not making their requests for changes necessary. They know what it takes!

Stayed in site #6. This site was nicely spaced away from other sites with access to the lake at the back of the site. Beautiful site! Great hosts! Hope to stay there again.
