Very quiet, spacious, sweet little spot. Great access to the lake. Dark skies for stargazing. Only wish it had water somewhere on site, but we were prepared.

So quiet, and the stars were amazing. Definitely need mosquito protection, noticed all other campers had a mosquito cover over their dining area. Many nearby hikes now require a permit due to overcrowding but there were thankfully, other options.

Quiet, relaxing on a beautiful lake. I went for the kayaking in the area and loved this campground.

Hosmer is excellent. Mallard marsh is just ok. Reservation name on card at site was wrong. Caused us some stress the first night based on previous reviews that talked about reservation issues. Pull through spots could use some trimming. Our motor home is only 26 feet but barely had enough room to pull through. Signage and set up in general is questionable. Camp host was MIA the entire weekend.

The campsite was nice, and I enjoyed stargazing from my tent and hearing various frog and bird sounds all night long. I loved having a nearby trail to an alternative launch site on the lake (kayak wheels very helpful) and being able to avoid the horrendously busy public lot and launch at Hosmer.
The mosquitos in camp were ravenous and horrible, making it impossible to eat planned dinner of salad and chili, instead grabbing a quick sandwich and retreating to car and tent, to maniacally try and kill the skeeters that got in there. A campfire helped a little with the mosquitos, but I could only have one in the morning, as it was too hot at night for one (stayed during a heat wave in early June).

Bathrooms were clean, as were the campsites in general. Only downside was the mosquitos who made an early appearance.

Great quiet, little campground with few people, and a lot of space even when full. There is no water of any kind so I was a little worried about campfires and wished that there had been a non-potable water spigot of some sort. The camp host was lovely, our site was awesome and huge. (#8) All in all a great visit. We hardly saw the lake so don't expect this to be a lakeside, waterfront situation. Great spot to stay for hiking S. Sister for sure!
