This is a great campsite and you won’t regret paying it a visit! It’s very remote but that is one of the best aspects of it. Bring floaties for the lake!

Beautiful campground. We only ended up staying for one night due to an overwhelming amount of flies around during out stay. I am aware that this is always a possibility when camping, but our site was just down the path from the vault toilet which most likely contributed to the issue. No amount of pest repellent would touch the issue.
Would consider trying to stay again at a site further from the vault toilet.

We had 3 very nice large campsites- 2 doubles and one single. Some of the other sites around the campground are quite small though so make sure you read the descriptions carefully. Although our sites weren't bordering the lake it was an easy walk for lake access. The campground hosts were very friendly and attentive. You really can't beat the scenery here, but it is quite a drive off of the beaten path and you're pretty far from cell service. The only downside to our visit was that there were a LOT of mosquitoes. Get ready to be constantly applying insect repellent day and night.

This place kicks ass! Quiet lake side site that we had mid week. Almost had the place to ourselves after a big rain storm and many tent campers got rained out. Bring peanuts for the chipmunks. The camp hosts were very nice and attentive. It's pretty far from anything so bring everything you need.
