I camp here often, the campground has all the amenities I need. Consistently many other campers let their dogs run without leashes possibly endangering other campers and enhancing the likelihood of a confrontation with leashed dogs like mine who are protective. In decades of camping I've never camped Anywhere that didn't have a leash rule, I don't get it? On many occasions I've seen people who are not campers roll into a camp site and use it for their own purposes and create unnecessary disturbances and inconvenience for registered campers. So the sites are nice, all with great views of the water plus a boat ramp and a recreation area with pavilion and picnic areas. It would improve the camping experience if the USFS could manage these unauthorized intrusion upon an othwise excellent facility.

Had a great time. Location is beautiful. Small issue with a camper not having their dog on a leash but other than that had a wonderful trip

Nice place but very few spots could accommodate a longer RV without a lot of leveling blocks. Unfortunately, did not get to see a lot of the area. This was just an overnight stop for this trip. We were in spot 1 and we have to raise the front end about 7" and it looked like it was one of the more level spots.

The camp hosts are very friendly people. The sites are spaced apart so that you don't feel packed in like sardines. I will definitely stay here again!
