We really enjoyed our night at this campground and site 1 was very secluded. Would definitely come back!

Campsite 3 was great - fully shaded with a nice large spot for a tent. On one side, there was the road to enter the area, and on the other was the road to one of the boat ramps, so there was some people moving on both sides, but on the weekend we were there, everyone was respectful and moved along quickly. The road in was mostly paved with about a quarter mile unpaved section and one deep ditch that our CRV did fine with. The host was active and welcomed us when we parked and was available if we needed anything. He was selling wood bundles for $10 but also let us know there were plenty of felled trees around we could use for our campfire. Definitely no water or no service but we had a lovely time!

We were rained upon the entire trip, but the campsite itself was excellent. Access to the water was easy, the lake was spectacular, water is clear and clean, the no-bait fishing rule helps with that certainly. It is well maintained and people clearly work to keep the site clear of trash and such. Just a great out of the way spot.

We had campsite 1 right on the water and had a great stay. It was very quiet, and there was room for 2 tents. The bathrooms were well taken care of, as good as a pit toilet can be. We enjoyed paddling on the water with views of Mt. Hood, and fishing.

The camp host this year I believe his name is Pat is doing an excellent job! The bathroom has never been cleaner, the noise drops at 10 pm and we just really had a great time.

Major hike in. Surrounded by trees, but not covered by trees. Spot gets very hot during the day. It was way too difficult to get everything in and out, wonβt be back. There is no water, bring your own.
