Surprising little gem! Looks like a mini Lake Tahoe. Campsites are a bit tight but we had no trouble with a pickup and camper. Would definitely go back.

Road is a bit tight for travel trailers. Impossible for large motor homes. Campsites are nicely spaced, very clean. Setting is magnificent. Hiking trail around the lake. Fishing is great!
