Very nice spot, great view and lots of trees. Downside is how folks will park in campsites for day use and not leave room for those with reservations. Campers also have a bad habit to drive to the bathroom and block the road for 10-15 min. USFS could use some more folks to keep up on folks behaving badly. Despite stage 2 fire conditions many still with open flames, again if you want the lake to keep looking pretty with trees, crack down on those people not paying heed to the extreme fire conditions. If you have a site near the water, lock things up, people walk through your campsite.

Some sites are very small and top of neighbors. Others are lovely! Make note that all photos online (ie. Google Images) of the site maps are wrong- the vague spot this program at Recreation.com places sites (ie. lake side, or internal to the loops) is correct, but the best you’re gunna get in determining site placement.

Continues to be our favorite campground. Well maintained and absolutely gorgeous. Worth all the planning and time it takes us to get there.

Excellent hosts. Cleaned the bathrooms and emptied trash multiple times a day. Best smelling camp restrooms I’ve ever experienced! The grounds were clean and quiet. Let’s keep it that way!
