While the remote location requires a longer drive, many visitors find it worth the trip for the serene atmosphere and amenities.

I loved this campground! I noticed there were a few bad reviews due to the road getting into the campground. Yes, it was a dirt road, but there were no bad potholes. I live in Pennsylvania and honestly our roads are SO much worse. Clearly the others leaving the reviews have never driven in PA. I really liked being down the dirt road, I kept my eyes peeled for wildlife, but only ended up seeing 2 turkeys. Our campsite was great and a short walk down to the lake. The views were beautiful! The campsite host was very nice too, we were recommended a hike to waterfalls nearby and it was great!

Except for the 22 miles of winding and bumpy gravel road getting to Murray Bay, the campground was very nice. Primitive, but nice. If you care a lot about your camping rig, you might consider Glacier Park instead. All roads there are paved.

The campground is pristine. Absolutely wonderful place to camp. Plan an extra 45 minutes to get to and from the main road. Gravel road for 20 miles but well worth it.
