Nice open park with lots of space to spread out in each campsite. Lovely trees for shade and hammocks. Great playground for kids, access to the river and short drive to the lake. Biggest downside was their very strict “no more than two cars per campsite” and NO other options (can’t pay extra for more and no other allowed parking in the campground, not even just day parking). We had to drive an extra car miles down the road to park overnight at the Wal-Mart and some friends who wanted to come visit/have dinner for a couple hours were chased off immediately. Seems like a ridiculous rule since there was PLENTY of space available.

Great campsite, super clean and neat. The bathroom from 007 is far ish, and it’s the campsite closest to the main road. So if you’re a light sleeper, don’t recommend but the spot otherwise is great. Clean bathrooms, clean campsites so I couldn’t complain.

We rarely stay at a campground without electricity, but this was one of the few available in the area. We enjoyed our stay more than we thought we would! Weather was comfortable, so we didn't miss our A/C very much at all. The bathrooms and showers were nicer than some of the others on our trip. We had cell reception if we were outside the camper (we were told there would be none). We will stay here again.

Stay was great because it was our first time being there, but I will not come back during the yellow jacket season.

Nice place! The lake access is really good and the setting is spectacular.
During our visit there were a few management problems:
1. bear boxes were non-functional.
2. water was non-potable (and it was not posted whether it would be OK if boiled)
3. bathrooms were locked, but port-a-potties were there, but needed servicing
Also quite close to the highway so quite a bit of car and truck noise.

We stopped here for the night on a road trip from San Fransisco to Seattle.
-easy to book last minute
-they are not often fully booked
-cheap compared to other campgrounds
-BEAUTIFUL camp and beautiful walking paths into the woods right behind our tent
-would stay here again in a heartbeat.
our only mistake was to not track down the bathroom on our way in. it's a long walk from you tent in the dark!
