Nice campground, lots of trees and beautiful lake and stream. Couple of nice trails close by. Camp hosts friendly and kept everything clean and tidy. Lots of mosquito's which I knew there would be from experience, but told later in year not as bad. No cell service which for me is a bonus. Why go camping and spend all of your time on your phone. Enjoy Nature!!! Good place to camp!

Super large lot with lake access and a massive firepit. Had a wonderful time! Make sure you close the gates when your whole party is there to avoid people coming through. We also paddled over to the cliffs left of the campsite and jumped off of them, it was a blast!

The camp hosts came to chat to us and offered activities which were free to our kids. They gave us advice and even helped us find huckleberries!
Toilets were clean- pit toilets but very clean and maintained well. The lake was stunning and we loved swimming in it.
The road to the lake is rough gravel- but it was ok to drive once you had done it once. Miles from anywhere but probably nicest campsite we stayed at- mostly because of the host kidness, the lake and the scenery! Would 100% book with no hesitation!!! Dare I say it- maybe nicer than glacier campsites!

These sites will be identified at the campground on maps and campsite post markers with a W.

  • You are allowed 2 passenger vehicles per site, the first vehicle is included in the site fee and an extra vehicle charge of $5.00/vehicle per night will be collected at the campground. Sites that are identified as double occupancy can accommodate an additional camping unit. In this situation, you will be charged for each camper.

  • Drop Camping is illegal without a Forest Service permit. If you rent a camper it may not be delivered by the owner.
