Boot Lake Campground

Boot lake is a beautiful and rustic campground. It will return to that state in the coming years. I am giving the campground a 5 and Recreation.gov a Zero....I thought the request for this review was a poor joke, showing how removed the Rec.gov is from the actual campgrounds. We stayed there when a massive tornado hit, it crippled the campground, people were trapped in vehicles, campers and tents were crushed by old growth pines. luckily and without comprehension no body was killed....to that point at no time did rangers/sheriffs come through the park to warn of the approaching storm was coming. Winds were sustained at 80 mph and gusts near 120 mph. We heard a static blip on a radio and barely made it to shelter at Phil's Hideaway. The campground was closed for the rest of the season, our car was totaled by falling trees...the scene was post-apocalyptic.

Can't really beat the water sites on Boot Lake. Favorite place, beautiful swimming beach, excellent host.

Wonderful!

Wonderful!

Reserved campsite 16 and 17. Did not really get to use campsite 17 because large boulders were in the path of where we would have backed our camper into the site. We ended up setting up all the tents and camper on 16.
Left some items at campsite 17 and had them stolen; 4 propane tanks and some wood blocks we were using to stop our boat trailer from rolling.
Campsite 16 was very nice. Would probably like to use 16 again at a later time.

Everything was wonderful, except the constant construction ALL FOUR DAYS! The next group of campers will have a wonderful time with the new campsites once the construction is complete.
