I've camped here many times. Love it up here and just about every site is perfect. The wilderness cafe has an awesome staff with canoe and kayaks for rent.

It was a great campground and the views were amazing! We were at site 4 so had water hookup and had no issues with that. The bathrooms were clean and always stocked with plenty of toilet paper. The only downfall we had is that we struggled to find the office as there never seemed to be anyone there. We ended up going to a different outfitter to find firewood and ice and Wi-Fi to be able to make any calls. The Trails End Cafe also wasn’t open so that was a bit of a bummer. We will definitely look at booking again though.
