Pros: Campground is in a nice location right on the lake, easy access off state highway. Boat docks are adjacent to campground. Campsites are well maintained.

Cons: Campsites are way too close to one another. No privacy at all. No showers and only pit toilets. Very noisy, with campers arriving well after dark, headlights shining into tents. If you don't mind having campers right next to you and you are traveling in a motorhome/camper, this campground will suit you fine. If you are tent camping and want a wilderness experience, pass this campground by. We might as well have tent camped in a Walmart parking lot. Will never return.

Highly enjoyable experience. I took my grandson with me to fish specifically for Kokanee Salmon (Trolling the lake with my boat). He had a very successful fishing experience and lifetime memories were made for He and I. The campground was modern, clean and well organized. The camper next to me however, waited till just after 10 PM, which is the quiet hour time, to fire up his generator assumingly for running his A/C. He left it on all night. I expected the camp host to come and tell him to shut it off but that didn't happen... All is well though and I would recommend this campground to anyone who either fishes with boat, or from shore and family's that want to enjoy wading in the lake. It is a scenic campground.

Glad that all the water pumps are now working and we would like to see the fish station back in operation too.
