They keep the toilets clean which is nice. I'm used to roughing it. The attendant is nice and warned us about a bear in the area. Have been many times but it has been years. It wont be years before I go back. Accept for Yellowstone this is my favorite place to camp.

Amazing sites! Very spaced out. You would never know that there were so many. Camp host was very helpful and you can buy firewood there for $7 a bundle or 3 for $20. Only a short hike to lake from the campground and there is a nice trail around it. I do not recommend hiking to Spruce Knob from the campground unless you enjoy uphill on a road with cars pretty much the entire way. Worth driving there and then hiking, or driving over to any number of a few other trails close by. The hike at the "knob" is only 10 min to the scenic point and tower, but there is another really nice trail off the other side. I would HIGHLY recommend this campground!
