Beautiful scenery and location, though itβs rather remote. Spot 23 was very nice, no complaints. Very impressed with how diligent and helpful the host was. This place was spotless, not a speck of trash anywhere.

Thank you to the camp hosts, who were present, reasonable and friendly. I think the trail around the lake and the nearby Takh-Takh Meadows might need a machete taken through it just to cut back some of the overgrowth (not trees - mostly the bushes) that lean way over the path, but other than that - which may not even be a responsibility of the hosts or campground itself, the stay was exceptional and nostalgic. The mosquitos were non existent, and the fish were jumping constantly through the day.

The camp hosts who take care of the facilities here are great. Things are kept clean and in good order. I've never been here before but this has become one of my most favorite places to camp.

Pros:
- Lake is clean and clear and the view of Mt Adams was amazing!
- Easy access to lake from the campsites
- Sites are shady
- It's not a busy/crazy area since the lake and campground are small
- Bathrooms were clean
- Hike around the lake is about 1 mile and was an easy trail for our young kids
Cons:
- No potable water - bring lots of extra for dishes, etc.
- Most of the sites are small, on a hill and have only one tent pad
- No cell service with AT&T

Beautiful campground. Appreciated the camp host taking the burn ban seriously. Bathrooms were cleaner than any time we have camped there in the last 12 years.
