It was okay. The bathrooms should be managed more. Way too many spiders and flies. Speaking of flies, there was so many of them on our hike and at the campsite. Not really sure why.

Camping off grid is always a nice experience. The wildflower display was magnificent.

Very quiet campground! Hiked North Fork Mountain, Seneca Rocks and Spruce Mountain. Although the campground was quiet the sites were pretty unkept. The host came to the campsite and askes if we wanted the grass cut, after we were set up

The grass in the sites needs to be cut, the toilets could have been cleaner.
The location in the woods was fantastic, the lake was worth the trip.
Campground host was very helpful.

Because of the regional host being called away I chose the wrong site. The temporary host was very good and said the site we chose was reserved. He said he would work it out but we decided to leave.

We stayed one night. It’s a long wilderness drive so do not forget anything. The campsites are well maintained. Firewood is available for purchase but we found sufficient down deadwood in the area. Bathrooms are typical. We were at site 25 and I didn’t realize we were next to the bathroom at reservation but it was not an issue at all. There are plenty of trees between each site. There is not a lot to do and given the long drive in, I can’t imagine staying more than two nights. We took a short drive to the lake and walked the trail and was lovely.

Very nice, serene small campground loop in close proximity to A LOT of attractions in this remote area. Definitely a great place to set up as "base" for a few days of fantastic exploration. I plan to go again.
