water accessibility was good. campsite was good. would have been nice to have access to running water, but with the lake nearby and the ability to boil it worked out. The person working directing traffic between the camping area and day use could have used more knowledge about the camping areas. This person was also less than pleasant to interact with, but considering they probably were in the heat all day and had a long day of "helping" people it's reasonable to expect they were tuckered out and a little grumpy from all that hospitality.

Camp hosts were really nice and accommodating. Campground was quiet and peaceful, and the weather was fantastic.
We go there every year. One of our favorite campgrounds. We just love it up there.

The site was clean and far enough away from other camper to feel very private. The other campers and forest service personnel we met were friendly and very helpful. The fresh water line to our campsite was broken but where available the water was clean clear and delicious.

The campground, during the week, was very quiet. The hosts were very personable and kept the vault toilet clean. There is a trailer dump at the campground, which I couldn’t find listed on Recreation.gov‘s website. There is one manual water pump on the lower loop near the beginning of the loop. We were told that the water pipe for the upper loop is currently broken, so the facets you see, do not work. The only one that works is along the road to the boat ramp and there’s one at the trailer dump.
