Facility was good: great access to lake in both boat ramp and day use area. Campsite and facilities were relatively clean. Sites have some tree coverage, but very limited, and if tent camping you hear everything. Sites are better suited if you are sleeping in your vehicle or camper.

The noise level day and night was bad. At the start of quiet time someone went around hoking their horn and yelling. Other campers were talking loudly past midnight. We ended up leaving a day early because two nights in a row with no sleep was bad enough, we had come from Holland Lake where camper noise wasn't much better.

Paths to campsites are one way and very narrow. You can get stuck waiting to get to your campsite. People would park vehicles blocking the road or create a bottle neck by not driving their vehicle and boat around again if everyone in their party wasn't ready to go at once.

The site was clean and the area seemed well maintained. I am sure to help with fire risk, the underbrush and many trees had been cleared losing pivacy. This was not an issue for me, I was just there to sleep and get back on the road, but something people should look at.

The proximity to the lake and to town was great. I popped up the valley for the Morrell Falls hike and had a super afternoon, followed by breakfast at a pullout on Salmon Lake when I was leaving the next day.

This campsite was great for our party of 10. It was also right next to the bathroom and a short walk from the lake.

Well-maintained campground with big sites. Enjoyed visiting Gus, the huge larch nearby, and a hike to Morrell Falls. Plan for a lot of sun as much of the hike is through a burn scar.
