THis is a GREAT campground. We were there Labor Day weekend for a family birthday celebration and it was clean, well cared for and friendly. Lake was quiet and peaceful. Other than the other campers with generators on past 9pm (: - it was an amazing trip!

Monocle lake is a beautiful place. We have been camping here for a couple years. During the week and fall is best for us as it is quiet. Weekends the park is full. We will return.

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 😊
