We enjoy this campground. Cell service for us (we have Verizon) is not too great as this is a remote area but it is nice to get away from the cell phone. Do have some service at the park's high-point if we really need to make calls/use data. The restrooms/showers are clean and well kept. Enjoyed nice morning walks. The lake level was down so we were able to walk all of the campground roads. Bring supplies with you as this is a remote location but the Pioneer store in Protem has a pretty good selection if you need something, and they have good deli meats/cheeses. Have gotten acquainted with the camp attendants and their family, they are good people.

We came down and spent the weekend to go diving. The campground was clean and well taken care of, the shower and bathrooms were clean and very accessible. There is a playground for the kids and each camp site is equipped with a table and a fire ring.. this is a very nice campground..
