Nice level spots. We have a small popup so no issues with space. Nice trees for shade. More traffic driving by on the road up above us but not horrible. Bathrooms and showers are nice.

Great place to stay! Nice camp sites, relatively quiet, nice play ground for kids, a pretty big swimming area and a lot of parking for boat trailers with a decent boat ramp. Fun for the whole family! One of my top 5 places for camping that isn't multiple hours away from home.

We 1st stopped on the 30th of july. After finding a cell signal thanks to the ranger all was good. Hot spot didn't work Decided to stop again on the return trip and although we just overnighted got to explore a bit more. This place will be added to future WA to MI trips.
