We really enjoyed Monocle Lake. Most of the sites were very large with lots of separation between sites. Many would easily accommodate large RV's like our 43' coach. The campground was immaculate. The hosts were clearly doing a good job. The lack of a dump station was a bit of an issue, but the one at the ball field in town was just a few miles away.

Very laid back campground. Wooded with large private sites. Great Lake for swimming also. Friendly and helpful hosts and managers. If you’re wanting peace and quiet, this is the campground 😊
