Beautiful, clean, quiet campground in scenic setting. Large campsites, each one pretty private. Great access to lakes, boating and hiking. Loved it.

This is a perfect place to connect and recharge. Fishing was a little slow, but kayaking and hiking along the lake were perfect. Can't wait to be there again

We love this campground because it is remote and we have always found it mostly empty. Wonderful kayaking lake. But it is not for everybody with no cell reception, no water, and vault toilets.

Site was large with a pull thru for our tent trailer. Sites were spaced a nice distance apart so we never felt crowded. We found a short trail to Hosmer Lake so we could launch our kayaks without having to drive to the main boat launch. Bringing our own water wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. We really loved this place and will definitely return.
