Great! Could not have had a better spot. We had site 1, perfect right next to the creek, we could hear the water from the camper.

It was a nice area and easy to find. I wish the garbage was closer but I understand bears frequent the area. The host was very kind and informative. Aside from the site itself, I think the reservation fees are a ridiculous. If it's that big of a hassle, make it first come, first serve.

Sites were nice and spacious. Camp host was very friendly. Bathrooms were very clean. Beautiful lake and trail. We are local and our trip was a test run for a new camper and wanted to stay pretty close to home. It's so pretty I would definitely go back again and walk farther on the trail.

Clean camp, clean bathrooms.
Only problem was no bear box at site 2. This is rhe only reason we choose w campground and not dispersed since we car camp. Had go keep food in the car while sleeping which made it very cramped. Feel like shoukd get a discount.
