It was a beautiful campground, and we had a great time. The weather was gorgeous. The campsites are spacious, and we enjoyed being able to fish from the dock and the banks. We did bring the boat, but we launched it from the boat launch across the lake due to a tree being in the way of the boat launch at the campground. We are beginner campers, so it was a lot of laughs along the way as we tried to figure out “how to wilderness.” A lot of people had dogs with them, and everyone was SO respectful about keeping them in their site and/or on leash. It was refreshing to be able to bring our dog and not have to worry about other dogs being an issue. Overall, it was a great weekend, and we love to go back again next year.
Some things to be aware of prior to going:
-Staff are completely non-existent. We arrived to find our campsite occupied on our check in date because the staff had written the wrong arrival date on the reservation card. We were lucky enough to find a different site, but there is no one to call to get things sorted except Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-3. It was Saturday. It’s very much a “figure things out yourself” kind of place, which is nice, but it would be nice to have someone to call for any major issues.
-Firewood: They tell you no outside firewood is allowed in the National Forest, but there aren’t clear directions on what you’re supposed to do for firewood. We just assumed that meant gather and cut your own and checked with a neighboring camper to make sure that was ok, but clearer directions would be good for us beginners.

Beautiful location! This is one of the best campgrounds ever when it comes to nature and beauty. My only complaints are with the dog owner who had the campsite before me. Unfortunately I stepped in dog crap and got said dog crap in my truck! Please pick up after your dogs. Also the Lodge says that it is open on its sign but it is not. Nobody opened the lodge and restaurant during its posted hours. We checked several times as did many other campers.

Such a beautiful campground! There's so much space in between each site and the animal life is very active. There's a lodge with showers available for $2 as well not that far away (driving).

Nice little campground with lots to see and explore. Bathrooms were clean and kept. Quiet area to relax and enjoy nature. AT&T cell service was nonexistent but can be picked up with a short drive out of the campground. The natural water spring shelter was nice and clean, and the water itself was cool and tasted great.

Great swim area, great for fishing and hiking. Great campsites. Only would say many dogs were unleashed which was concerning

Beautiful campground with no supervision. No host was there. Unknown to us, a large event was scheduled which ran generators next to our campsite The group covered up campsite numbers making it hard for anyone else to find their site. Too many vehicles per site.
