Hosts are helpful and very friendly. Campsites are well maintained. My only complaint is that the fish cleaning station had maggots and was unusable.

The camp ground hosts were wonderful!! Very friendly and kept the grounds and bathrooms clean.

Only gave 4 stars because you have to buy wood for fires elsewhere and haul it in and because there are restrictions on the types of wood you can burn even though the wood local sellers cut in the same area.

The camp hosts make it worth coming back. Very friendly! The canpsite we had was awesome. We had a lake lot which had enough room the kids to play. Will be back next year, and again and again. This is our second year coming here!

Excellent campground. Private camp sites most with lake side access. Toilets are clean and camp sites are well tended.

Decent campground. Bathrooms were clean.
Many of the picnic tables are showing signs of age with rotting boards.

Hosts were great. Beautiful and clean location. Convenient to (overgrown and buggy) trails. Site was down too low and flooded.

Nice campground hosts and the outhouses were kept clean and stocked with toilet paper.
Very disappointing that the US Forest Service stopped selling wood at the campground. It was such a nice convenience knowing dry wood was available right there. Now you need to haul up what you think you might burn or drive to a resort or gas station when you need/want wood.

Really hope the Forest Service reinstates the selling of wood at the campground.
