The campground and area is beautiful! A great place to unwind since there's no wifi or cell service within the campground. We stayed in loop A. My only negative comment is that there is only 1 shower and 2 toilet stalls in the ladies bathroom. Since the sites don't have water at the site and also no sewer on-site there's a lot of people needing to use the bathhouse.

Beautiful place. Best of all--very dark skies for stargazers. Unfortunately, many people have discovered cheap super high powered flashlights. Boo!!!! They shine them all over like crazy. Quiet hours should include not just sound but, also lights. There are no fish left in the lake. The surrounding region is full of neo-nazis. Boo!!!!!

This was a beautiful, quiet campground. The bathrooms were always clean. The woman at the camp store was so nice and helpful. We spent so much time on the peaceful lake.

We spent two nights at Indian Boundary Campground and really enjoyed our stay. The entire campground was clean, well maintained, and a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

The campsites have power, along with a firepit and picnic table at each site. All of the sites we saw appeared to be back-in sites, but there were definitely sites large enough to accommodate bigger rigs. Whether you’re tent camping, traveling in a Class B like our Winnebago Revel, or bringing a Class A, there seems to be something here for just about everyone.

The bathrooms were clean and well maintained, and the camp store was convenient for picking up some of those little things you may have forgotten.

One of the highlights is the fantastic beach and lake. We watched our neighbors catch a fish, and my wife spent some time out on the dock painting a landscape of the lake and surrounding mountains. It’s just a beautiful, peaceful setting.

We had a wonderful two-night stay and would definitely come back. If you’re looking for a clean, scenic campground with good amenities and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the lake, Indian Boundary is well worth a visit!

The campground was muddy and messy. We only stayed one night out of 3 reserved.

Our site was very secluded. When the warning says no bigger than 26ft....listen to it! We were right at 26ft and it was tough getting backed in. We were across the street from the bathrooms, so there was a lot of foot and cycle traffic in and out of there. Also didn't love the little gravels in the space. Almost as bad as sand at the beach. But, all in, we loved the campground and our time there. The lake and area there is indescribably beautiful.
