Stayed at group site 2. It is a great site with plenty of space for tents and great trees for hammocks. Clean bathrooms and the grounds were clean as well.

Absolutely beautiful, peaceful and amazing night skies. Really appreciated hot water at the bathroom down the hill. If the bathroom at the top of the hill between the two group sites was functional it would have been perfect.

We will visit again. Access to the campground was easy, and our camping site was perfect.

The park itself is very beautiful, sites are clean and spacious. Our site was overlooking the lake and was absolutely beautiful, the only complaint we had was the constant distractions from the camp host. Apparently they don't have good cell service either and would come outside rather often to make calls (via speaker), constantly coming and going in their noisy vehicles and hollering at each regularly. We came camping for peace and quiet, not to be constantly reminded or noisey neighbors (to be the camp host at that). Also, we came down during deer season and to hunt on the public land there. While we were staked out we heard several noises only to see that it was two trail riders passing through in dark clothing at dusk!!! Please if you come down to ride the trails during hunting season, please wear orange!!!

Beautiful quiet campground on a small lake with good hiking trails.
Only problem was a nonfunctional 50 amp breaker which I reported but never fixed during the 5 day stay

Trails were great! Fall colors were beautiful. I recommend Trail 5 & 9 this time of year. If you ride up to Talimena Scenic Drive and go west, there's a gorgeous overlook featuring Cedar Lake.
