Don't come here if you are expecting modern conveniences. In fact, don't come here at all. We'd rather keep it to ourselves.

Wonderful small camp ground on Monocle lake with beach access! Clean vault toilets. Sites are spacious and wooded. Path is easy to navigate and walk. Mostly private as you can “see” your neighbors. Quiet and peaceful, owls can be heard at night!

Beautiful, older, Forest service campground. Large, wooded, private sites with a lot of space in between. Vault toilets, very clean. Right on the lake. Quiet. Loved this campground, would return!
