Views are epic just driving up. Very wooded campsites. Cecret hike can be done from the CG. Totally worth doing and look for the amphibian things in that lake. Really neat!!

Beautiful campspot. We were in site 10. Reserved two nights so we could have the spot all day to hike and have a picnic. We did not spend the night.

The camp host was so incredible and welcoming! The camp was calm and quiet and everyone was very kind. And importantly, the bathroom was very clean!
