I had the best time at this campground! We were in site 22 which was right next to the camp hosts, and the camp hosts were the nicest and most welcoming couple! Throughout our time there they always had time for a friendly conversation. The walk to the lake was about 10-15 minutes through beautiful scenery, and the lake was breath taking! There is also a lodge and restaurant nearby where you can buy necessities and grab a bite of food/drink. This might be one of my favorite campgrounds that I've ever visited. The stars at night are incredible and you are surrounded by beautiful trees and meadows. Super family friendly also and clean public restrooms!

It's a magical place. Don't forget to bring your own booze. The lodge charges airport prices on drinks.
It's also a hike *(about a mile) to get to the beach. Advised to drive to the beach, unload, go park, and then drive back to your camp.

Wonderful location. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Would be nicer if music players were banned!

Wonderfully quiet on 4th of July weekend, despite being right next to the highway. Lovely ~1/2 mile hike to the lake.
