We had site 4 and it was huge and private. Gorgeous scenery and lots of birds and animals to watch. We didn't bring our fishing poles but there were tons of fish jumping in the lake. The only things to know before coming is make sure you bring your own drinking water and firewood. If anybody in your party gets car sick, you'll want to be prepared for that as the road up to the site is very windy. The drive is worth it though

This gem is being overused, evidenced from the volume of fishing line fragments hanging from trees, trapping wildlife, to the bobbers and litter keeping the hosts busy. It is small enough that the experience will be largely influenced by the behavior of others who are also camping, like loud and unaware campers. Experiences may vary.

Very nice campground, check in process is truly unbelievable.

Upon arriving at this somewhat remote forest campground, you'll be informed by the camp host, who is a live person, I'm assuming being paid to be there, that they cannot give you a reservation or take your money. You have to get on your phone, which does not have service and scan a QR code, which does not work without phone service. You can drive around the area trying to get 1 bar of coverage on your phone so you can call a recreation.gov phone number, and wait on hold to make a reservation. What a system!

Site, 04 is one of the best sites we have ever rented. It's super spacious and feels very secluded. We will 100% be going back.

Beautiful place, however, only a couple of sites are level. Also, tent sites do not accommodate RVs or vans. Sites #3 & 4 were level.
