Beautiful, peaceful campground. Due to the imminent closure of the campground at the end of September, we were the only campers there.

Very nice and well maintained campground as a whole, however would be alot better with a working water system and some kind of wood chips around the playground for the kids.

No water to wash hands in bathrooms which we already knew, but no hand sanitizer either? Seems a bit dangerous…

There is no monitoring of how many people are occupying a campsite. When I arrived at my site in Tent Meadow the site next to me had 2 tents set up and 7 people (3 adults, 4 kids). Later that day another family arrived to join them, adding 2 more adults and 2 kids, plus their tent. To make room they moved one of the other tents (the kids' tent) so it was only about 10 feet from my tent. They were all up until midnight with the kids playing with flashlights. The next day another 3 people & tent joined them, and they were all up until 1am. Those sites are supposed to be for 1 tent and 6 people and the park ranger frequently drove past Tent Meadow throughout the day, but was more concerned with stopping to use a leaf blower to clear parking pads.
The toilet blocks are cleaned by just hosing everything down, so make sure you dry the seat before you sit down in the morning. Not having working sinks was a great inconvenience, especially as there was no hand sanitizer.
The lake itself it really nice, and there are places to sit that are not in the middle of the beach chaos, but I don't recommend staying there on a weekend or holiday. The "paved" trail to the small waterfall is not well marked, but it is a pleasant walk.
