This is a beautiful campground to visit. It's peaceful with spacious camp sites, nice bathhouses, great beach area, gorgeous views of the mountains, a nice, clean walking trail around the lake. A great place to paddleboard, kayak, etc. or just to take a picnic.

As always, Indian boundary never disappoints. Husband and I spent 5 nights. We enjoyed the riding our bikes around the trail of the lake, kayaking and just unplugging. No cell service there. Great experience!

The camp ground is clean and well maintained. Bath houses are nice and clean. The campsites are spaced nicely between each other no one is up on you. An excellent place to unplug and get back to nature. A beautiful area to spend time in.

This is the first time staying at Indian Boundary. The whole campground is really nice with the "A" loop being the area.

Clean Restrooms. Nice campground host. Onsite store well supplied. My site was very nice once in but tricky to back into #36. Very pleasant people camping enjoyed meeting many people. I will be back and very likely at #36 it was a perfect fit for my camper. It was very wide once in but again tricky to back into. If you were not paying attention the front left wheel of your tow vehicle could end up in a deep drainage ditch. Had to position yourself just perfectly to start your back up to get the proper angle as the site is on a curve with a narrowing of the road. If the entrance to the site was wider it would be easy. My camper was 28 feet long towing with a 2500 HD diesel crew cab with an extended 8-foot bed. Will be back soon.

I was in section A and the host, Martha, was so kind and helpful. You are blessed to have her. And I was blessed to meet her. The bathroom was always extremely clean and the sites were perfect. I’ll be back.
