Used this group site for a small family reunion. It was clean, quiet and in a nice area. The campground hosts ran it very well. The only thing you should be aware of is... there is no water for drinking. You have to go up the road to Lost Creek campground for water. which is only a few miles from the campsite.

Almost impossible to get a campsite, but when I found one for one night, I took it. Campsite was clean and neat. The scenery around the area can't be beat. All adjacent campers were respectful and quiet. Great new that ATVs are not allowed to ride around the campground except for egress and reentry. The pit toilets were as clean as I have ever seen. Bring ALL the water you need. Camp hosts were great and do a great job maintaining the area.

The lake was extremely low. When I booked the reservation, the campsite was lakeside. I had no idea the lake would be pumped so low I had to walk a couple hundred yards just to reach the lake. I brought my kayak and all of the equipment that goes with it for nothing. That said, the fly fishing from the shore was excellent (caught 47). Winter rolled in while I was there (17 Sep) and I wasn't fully prepared. Overall it was an enjoyable stay.
