Mel Rieman Recreation offers a beautiful and peaceful camping experience with well-maintained sites and stunning views. Campers appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities, helpful camp hosts, and the spaciousness that allows for privacy. While there are minor concerns like limited cell service and some amenities needing improvement, overall, visitors found it to be a great spot for relaxation and family fun.

The drinking water was a bit coppery, bet not too bad. The one ranger on duty, once I found him, was very helpful when I checked in and found my electric box didn't work.

Very nice little campground. Clean and quiet. Nice bathrooms, the showers are kinda goofy but I'm also very tall. We will definitely be back. Only con would be cell service if you need it, our Tmobile service was very bad. But we were there to camp, not call ppl.

We spent two evenings here on the shoulder season, the lake rentals were closed down, and the camp host had departed. There were only a handful of people in the park, and the leaves were starting to change, it was quite beautiful and peaceful. The sites were level and spacious. The bathrooms were old, but adequate. My only complaint is that in order to take a hot shower you had to repeatedly press the button to get water flow and I think it only stayed on for 30 seconds at a time. You also could not adjust the temperature, it was what it was.
