Great place to visit and camp. There are multiple lakes nearby for fishing, kayaking, and hiking. Energy Loop, a scenic byway, is the highway that runs through this area and it has beautiful scenery with a great view at the skyline point of the drive which is nearly 10,000 ft in elevation.

Lovely campground with clean outhouses, beautiful scenery, and far enough away from neighbors to give you privacy. We will be back.

The location was idyllic. The site is beautifully forested and there is great separation from other campers for serenity and privacy. There were 2 factors that took this from a 5 star to a 3 star review. We were there 2 nights and each night night at 4am we were jarred awake by extremely loud tree cutting equipment. It appears they were removing dead trees from the forest but starting at 4am when it is pitch black out seems extreme when you are surrounded by campgrounds. The cutting continued all day until 4 pm.
The second issue was no campfires allowed despite having received torrential rainfall before our arrival and it was even raining during our stay. I feel the forest service could update their campfire policy with greater granularity based on current conditions. We sat in the cool damp evening with nothing to warm us so just retired to our tent early only to be startled awake at 4 am.
I know these were both temporary conditions so I would not hesitate going there again. It was just that they were both avoidable.
