Very nice clean bathrooms and showers (2). Nice shaded sites. The water is not visible from your sites, but we knew that. I would recommend staying there.

Nice small quiet campground, clean showers. We had rain all week. We came to bike ride, I thought there were trails closer, but we had to drive 25 miles to Cass Lake to the Migizi Trail. We could have also take a ride on the Heartland trail out of Cass Lake to Walker but the weather wasn't cooperating. If you wanted to fish, I would highly recommend this campground. A little tight at the Dump Station but water pressure was good and you didn't have to drag out your own hoses.
