Campsite was wonderful. Mosquitos were terrible. Not sure if that is the trade off for having lots of trees and shade, but without the pesky mosquitos it would have been perfect!

Very buggy. We got lots of bites, I wish they would spray because it was hard to be outside otherwise, which is the point of going camping. Everything else was fine. I do wish there was a dump for our trailer and garbage dumpster like at previous sites we've stayed at. The money you pay is just to reserve the camp spot, no other services provided. The kids had fun on the tracks with their 4-wheeler and the lake was nice.

Campsite is great. Nice to have two tables. Also close to bathrooms and away from the main road.

There is not a vault toilet near the camp. You have to go up to the main road and use that toilet. Considering it is a group site you would think that a toilet would be close. That is my only complaint...minus the bugs but that is how it goes.

this is a nice spot but there is zero shade, we fortunately brought our own. we did have a forest service host tell us that it was only for 2 families even though the web site says up to 40 people, not sure how 2 trailers are going to hold 20 each, either the web site needs to be updated or the forest service folks need updated. The area is absolutely beautiful and I will definitely be in this area much more often.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
