We enjoyed our stay at the campground. Bathrooms were clean and we enjoyed the views. There was enough space between camping spots to enjoy some privacy.

The group campsite was ready and clean. The restrooms were clean and stocked. It was nice to camp on asphalt so there was no mud. The camp hosts were very communicative and helpful, and not too intrusive. The weather was not great but the scenery made up for it and the bull elk bugling nearby was a nice touch.

Secluded, quiet and beautiful. Wonderful listening to the creek fall down the mountain at night. A little buggy but nothing a bug candle couldn’t handle

Mosquitoes are absolutely terrible (worse than the uintas) so bring plenty of bugspray and a plan. Multiple streams feed into a boggy meadow directly south of the campground fence causing the excessive mosquitoes. Bathrooms have flushing toilets and running water. The area is beautiful and minutes from Fish Lake. You are expected to dump garbage at a dumpster miles to the south. The general store across from the marina has most things at a reasonable markup. The store at the south end of the lake has a much higher markup.
None of the campsites have a flat spot for a tent so be prepared to sleep on at least a slight angle.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The area is beautiful. We wish mosquito abatement would go on since they were overwhelming and everywhere.

This particular spot would be great for a small camper or a trailer. We were in tents and ended up pitching them on the parking spots because there is no flat or grassy spots with the spot. There is one spot that could be used but it's closer to another spot so I wouldn't plan it being available. The closer bathroom does have flush toilets and running water but no soap or paper towels.
