The campground and toilets were clean;however, there was someone using their loud generator late at night. The camp host was helpful for suggesting a day hike to Lost Lake, which turned out to be longer than described. The campsites in this campground are not as tight and open as some, giving a bit more separation from other campers, with a mix of sun and shade. There were still small trout in the lake also.
