The scenery is spectacular, the lake is full of fish, the trails offer great destinations. What more could you ask for? The sites accommodate pickup campers, vans , and cars and only small trailers only because of the many granite boulders and alpine forest. Management does a great job in keeping the camp facilities clean and maintained .

Beautiful lakes to hike to and around. We had perfect weather. Loved watching the Osprey hunt for fish. The new benches were perfect to sit and enjoy the tranquility of the area.
