All went well. Grounds were in good shape. Views were good. Trail around the lake was good. Now the 'bad', Some signage, especially the information bulletin boards, needs to be reconditioned. The trail could use some updated markers and signage. And some updating on the piers is needed. But still was excellent and will visit again.

Well marked trails. Nice facilities and shower house. Stalls and plumbing could use refreshing in showers.

There is limited service at the camp site, besides that it is well maintained and absolutely beautiful.

The stalls need some major maintenance. Trying to keep a stall cleaned on black hard wet dirt is exhausting, They all need gates. The heavy maneuver to get in and out of them when you’re old, is very hard on your arms. The trails were not very well marked, they were sporadically marked. Too many big rocks, and the trails need severe maintenance. I would not return.
However, the camp host Brenda was very helpful. You are lucky to have her!
