We booked our camp site, #10 on the recreation.gov website and chose a site still available that was closest to the lake. #10 is not close to the lake and is across from the Camp Host. The Camp Host runs his generator making it challenging to enjoy the serenity of camping. There is not a toilet near #10. When we arrived, there were other sites empty and closer to the lake. The next morning, these sites were still not occupied meaning that the individuals who had reserved them were, "no-shows." According to recreation.gov, the camp host is supposed to report all no-shows immediately and after several no-shows on an individuals account, their reservation capabilities will be revoked. I found out that the camp host has not been reporting these no-shows to recreation.gov. Very frustrating.

Great place. Can't wait to return. Be careful when booking. Some the sites are very small for trailers. All work for tents with nice picnic tables. Site is well maintained.

Such a beautiful place. Has a great resort just a short walk away to rent canoes or other small craft. Quiet, off the beaten path, and well kept up.

We rolled up on a quiet mid week day to camp in september. A time when locals love to get out and camp and recreate after the summer craze. We get to the campgrounds that are not busy, and find out to camp you must have a reservation. No cell service. So we set up camp where it seems to be empty and I drive to the top of the hill to go find cell service to reserve the spot, only to find out that there are no available sites, yet it is almost empty. The campground host has left for the season, so what are we to do? Requiring reservations on national forest land is total bullshit. The campgrounds stayed mostly empty despite being "full" as many people who had reserved months ago never showed up. We witnessed other people arriving and having the same experience and packing up and leaving in search of somewhere else to camp. We need to save our national forests and experiences for the people who put in the effort to get there, not just clicking buttons from the comfort of their couch.

Do not stay at site number 10....I didn't. I left because it was so close to the site next to it with 10 kids and a Hugh RV with generator.
