This place is what a campground should be. It's in the woods, the bath houses are well kept, and the sites are spacious for the most part. The walking/biking trail is very nice, and the view at the beach area is spectacular especially at sunset.

Indian Boundary is a beautiful recreation area with several options for exploring and having fun with the family. The hiking trail around the lake is convenient to the camping area, and the beach is very inviting for swimming or for simply lounging in the sand. Our camping experience was excellent with good clean bathhouses and all the other amenities.

Solid camping experience; a bit crowded but they have set it up nicely where you don't feel completely on top of your neighbor. The wilderness is awesome up there so we enjoying that tremendously
