I like the campground just fine. I do not like the online reservation/registrations. Very unclear and confusing. The information from website and camp-host not the same. I been coming to this campground for several years, but not sure if I will come back any time soon.

Staff was kind, checking in got pretty confusing (no signs or instructions when arriving to say what to do). Once we made it to our spot it was clean and organized. Tucked away in the woods and a lot of space between sites was definitely a plus. It did get a little noisy throughout the day but at night it was dead silent. Plenty of hikes and trails all nearby. And at the end of the day taking a swim in the crystal clear lake makes for a refreshing stay.

The lake is beautiful and there are some spectacular hikes in the nearby Goat Rocks Wilderness. No bugs when we were there. Absolutely worth the long drive.

To us, this campsite is not worth it. To get to the site it's 20 miles/1 hour of HORRIBLE gravel rough road. We were hoping that once we got there it would be worth it, but our site was extremely small and the whole thing was on a hill. There was also no water spickets other than the one by the host. This campsite does have amazing wildlife though. There are crawfish to catch in the river and lake, trout to fish for, garden snakes to look at and enjoy, blue jays, hawks, and frogs. Our 9yr old loved catching the crawfish and frogs and wading in the river and lake. The lake does have A LOT of shallow water to wade into which was very enjoyable - the lake is very family friendly.
