The host jack is a great people person and has a new sidekick (Reggie) a black lab pup, who he says is training to be the new host :) clean campsites and restrooms and a beautiful lake with plenty of fish and water fowl. Loved hearing the loons sing!

This is a beautiful and quiet campground next to a beautiful lake. Our site #12, had a path down to the lake (steep but doable)

Had site 23. No lake view but very private as no one is across from the site or close by. 6-7 empty sites each night for first come first serve even over 4th of July weekend.

After digging out the fire pit deep enough, I had a good time building fires to cook and keep warm. Parking was easy and the restroom was a short distance from the shore/campsite. Very greatful to have stayed at Cresent Lake.

The campground is great!! We stumbled upon this campground a couple years ago and will make it an annual trip. The campground is quiet and peaceful, and the campsites and bathrooms are incredibly clean!! The site we stayed at (26) is right on the lake and it has an excellent view!! The campsite is on a slight slant, which made set up a little more challenging. Our picnic table and stove was at a constant slope, so make sure to bring some boards shimming. Overall, it was a great experience, and would encourage anyone to stay there!!

Always a beautiful campground and site. Campground permanent resident (forget his title) Jack was very helpful—busted out an air inflator to pump up a low tire and saved the day.
