Very enjoyable. My only comment is a larger amount of toilet paper in the toilet by the group site. we have been here many years and when the host takes days off we are having to supply toilet paper for everyone around that end of the campground.

Site 16: Only had a single night rsvp but it was a pleasant 24 hour stay. Sites are pretty spacious and private with a nice amount of forest growth between sites. The site was nice and flat which allowed many options for setting up camp. Fire pit/ring was structurally sound and functional with a rotating grill grate - plus the previous camper left fire wood and I didn’t even use it all and was able to leave some foe the next camper! Site offered a very short walk on private trail to a small sandy shore off Echo Lake. Only suggestion: picnic table could use some TLC. I’d stay here again.

Very nicely secluded sites. Restrooms were clean and did NOT smell. There is a short trail down to the lake that is beautiful.
