Really nice campground with spacious spots and nicely wooded areas. Lake is beautiful but be mindful - it gets packed during hot summer days and it can be hard to find a decent spot to set your stuff and hang out for the day.

One of the nicest campgrounds I have ever camped at. Lots of privacy and space between camping sites. Bathrooms were not stinky. The only negative thing I observed was that the garbage cans were all overflowing throughout the entire campground otherwise it was a great experience and I would go back again.

I would rate this campsite right in the middle of the pack. First the basics: there are very few power hookups (if any), so I couldn't charge the boat, etc. The place is 40 mi cell phone coverage and 20 mi from any services/convenience store. Maybe both of those are fine for you, but if you run out of ice, you are 40 mi round trip from another bag.
The area is beautiful, the hiking trails around Bumping are exceptional. The lake itself seems awesome, although I didn't catch a fish. The campsites themselves are good. A firepit and a solid picnic table as well obvious tent clearings are present, but sandy/dirt in the campsite can be a bit of pain, getting into everything.
One last note, the camp host seems really hard over on the rules there. Make sure you follow them, menacing/unwelcoming signs posted all over the camp to prevent violations. I asked the camp host a question about fishing, and that was clearly not what he was there for. He had no answer.
