This was by far one of the best kept Forest Service campgrounds we have stayed at. The bathrooms were immaculate -- they even smelled good. The hosts were a friendly couple who helped us with directions to various places. The campground was small and very quiet. A really nice place to stay.

The people next to us had very loud screaming crying kids, but other than that the campground was nice.

We loved this location. The campsites are clean and well maintained and the site is quiet. The bathrooms are the usual pit toilets with no sink to wash hands but the hosts thoughtfully provided some hand sanitizer which was nice. There is only one hiking trail out but it's long and very beautiful. Not a lot of sites but they are relatively private and everyone was quiet.

This was our first time camping here and it was also on Memorial Weekend. The site was clean on arrival with a picnic table & fire ring. On one side of the table, the sitting bench was taped off for repairs, which didn't bother us at all because we used it for other stuff. This site is right across of the restrooms (which were always clean and didn't smell). Keep in mind, this is not so much of a private site. The picnic shelter is nearby but thankfully it was not in use while we were there.
We would definitely return, as the hosts there were very nice and did a good job in maintaining the place.

We are fairly experienced campers so we are familiar with the in's and out's of camping reservations and associated manners.

I hate to be the one that doesn't give this place 5 stars -- maybe I went on an "off" weekend. At any rate, the dog situation here was out of control. Nearly every site had an off leash dog making it impossible to walk the half mile loop around the lake; I mean, some folx didn't even have leashes at all. Heck, even the host had an off leash dog. Our dog is now dog reactive if approached by a dog after being attacked 4x by off leash dogs. We have his behavior under control but off leash dogs are not something we can control. We are very intentional in choosing our campsites to only choose facilities were leashes are required.

We expect some sort of commotion, after all, we aren't booking a private campground. But the small dogs that barked non stop and the talking at all hours of the day made for an impossible-to-relax weekend. Despite my wife's love of fishing, she wouldn't even fish due to the noise and commotion.

Unfortunately, we won't be back to this location.
