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 mi/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.

Campground is right on the edge of the Goat Rocks wilderness and the lake is big - lots of people kayaking and fishing. A couple of trails start right from the campground. One pit toilet was full, but the others were clean and stocked with TP through our stay. Most of the sites small, not much room for big trailers, but the sites were spaced well and fairly private from one another.

Lovely setting, gorgeous lakefront site, but really odd interactions with neighbors and camp host. We had site 38 and loved the views of the lake and lakefront spot to set up. We stayed three nights, and the first evening was a dream despite the cool weather. Friday on midday we were relaxing next to our site when the madness began - groups of people carrying boats and tents right through our site without even trying to social distance. Site 37, a first come site, ended up with nearly 20 people and 6 tents - they even put a tent in OUR site (after very confusingly asking us if it was OK - we did not know that's what they meant until it was too late). These folks also tried to park their boat literally on top of our beach blanket while we were at our picnic table eating a snack. Seems like rules of site limits (people and cars) were not being followed. Very little social distancing by most people. Also saw very few mask wearers (the neighbors were covid-deniers...eek). Parking was a nightmare. Very odd use of space. Very odd experience. I'd love to go back but only if rules are being followed and I'd know I'm not next to an impromptu family reunion during a pandemic.
