I stayed in campsite #23 and it was nothing less than amazing! The site itself was the perfect size, and neighboring sites weren't super close so privacy was good. The vault toilets were very clean, and everyone the hosts were extremely nice/friendly! And the lake... WOW! The bugs may have been a bit of a nuisance, but it was fun watching TONS of fish jumping up to get them. There was zero service which I loved, and the minimal "amenities" made it feel like true camping. Overall, I am very impressed with this campground and I cannot wait to come back.
