We stayed in site#26 with our 30' Class A. Drive on Route 50 headed up was pretty gnarly with tow dolly, but doable, be good experience for novices.Pretty area, but in middle of nowhere like others have said (bring what you need). Nice hiking in area, some trails not too maintained. Dam area closed, couldn't see Waffle Rock, but hiked Lakeside Trail. Were disappointed with our site though. It was a rainy stay and there was a large muddy ditch running through our site near parallel next to the pad where camper door opened. Fire pit area was sloped, not to much sitting room around it. Cellular was accessible, 2-3bars, and cellular repeater helped with data. Was able to work on video mtgs, stream shows. Overall, just an okay stay, would only come back if driving through area.

Campsite was ok. Wasted weekend. Traveled and camped expecting to fish the lake but boat ramp and beach area was closed. Would have been nice to know that BEFORE driving to the campground. Camped there a few times before but this was our worst camping trip to date.

Overall, campground was very nice, around 68 sites fairly level and paved. We stayed 9 nights arriving May1st. when they first opened. Restrooms were kept clean and well stocked with paper. Trails were not kept up very well, had to climb over fallen trees. The area around fire rings was muddy and unlevel. Verizon cell service worked but was not great.
Great view at the overlook on your way to sites

We love this campground. Sites are large, attendants are very friendly, shower house is always clean. Roads to the campground are a little rough. Paved roads within campground really cuts down on dust in camper.

Have been going here for years and the facility is always clean and everyone is so friendly. It would be nice to have internet service at camp in the future.

Steep road coming in from any direction, to be expected in the mountains. To bad it's not build on the lake instead of the middle of nowhere, Staff very friendly and helpful. Clean campground. Make sure you have groceries before you go town is a bit of a drive to walmart. Camp store has some things. Best to come in from the south not the north, just better wider road.
