Great to camp on the lake. The road in is pretty tough until the last couple miles.

Road to get there is horrible and not maintained. After years of having water provided, the Forest Service after approximately 4 years have refused to repair the water pump. (So still no water). There were many signs stating that you had to take your garbage home with you. When the camp host took their 2 days off, there was no toilet paper for any of the out houses.

Beautiful remote lake with plenty of lake access. Huge beautiful trees creating a hush over the entire campground. I really enjoyed our time here.

Our most favorite campground! Lots of hiking and fishing/cray fishing to be had. Usually very quiet (if you don’t stay along the lake). Double sites are a great investment if you have kids or a dog. Bring a kayak or boat or hike to the opposite end of the lake to escape the day use crowds. They will pretty much consume the beach. At times it was difficult to access our boat due to packed sun canopies and beach blankets, and at one point people were using my kayak as personal storage. (Obviously Friday-Sunday are the worst days) Be prepared for biting and stinging bugs of all kinds. The biting flies, ground hornets and black jackets were especially bad this year.
