Indian Boundary Campground offers a beautiful, tranquil setting with well-maintained facilities, spacious and shaded campsites, and clean bathrooms, making it an ideal location for family-friendly activities like hiking, swimming, and kayaking. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and the helpful camp hosts, as well as the scenic lake and beach area. However, some concerns include limited bathroom facilities, occasional rudeness from park rangers, and the lack of cell service, which may impact convenience. Overall, it's a cherished spot for many campers who enjoy the natural beauty and outdoor experiences it provides.

Not sure why, but no longer able to hang hammocks in the campground, but they can be used in the forest and overflow. Also probably the most trash I have ever seen along the trail of the lake.

Wish someone would clean out the fire rings. Thoughtless or ignorant campers at my site prior to our arrival thought they could burn tin cans and aluminum foil. Our friend’s fire ring was filled with ashes and garbage. Otherwise, a wonderful experience.

Enjoyed the privacy of A1. Bathrooms are spot less. The camp Host keep the bathroom clean. They do a great job on the entire property. First time camping here and was not disappointed. I have been here and used the recreation day area many time. This campground is the most family friendly we have experienced. Great place to camp with a road bike or gravel bike. Many forest roads to explore.
