We always love going there. We book about 3 trips a year. Would be nice to see pictures of the actual campsites on line when booking for a large group.

Campground was great, the other people not so much. The people behind us were cutting down branches off the trees in the campground for firewood. Our own firewood was stolen 12 mins after arrival. Tons of people driving backwards on one way roads while doubled or tripled up on ATVs with no helmets. Sand lake in general is in desperate need of a ranger to actually enforce the rules.
