It would be helpful and keep the beach cleaner if there were a dumpster for trash disposal. People might clean up after their dogs if there was a place to put it. I know it's gross and no one wants to do it, but I was cleaning up toilet paper and what I'm not sure was human feces or dog doo. I don't know why people won't use the restrooms.

Small campground, 17 total sites, sites $7 but notice posted that rates may be raised to $12. About 1/2 sites can be reserved, rest are FF. No camp host onsite. Sites are tucked into dense willow-aspen shrubs and only a few have paths direct to the lake, but there are two overflow parking spots that allow access to the beaches on lake. Bugs are likely bad at times. Roads into this CG are narrow and sketchy for large rvs or travel trailers. Cell service is none. A private lodge is farther down the access Rd toward the hiking TH. Road to the TH is narrow, rocky and limited parking, very limited turnaround for trailers

Great location. US Government Weather Service provided us with nice sunny, but cool weather. Quiet location with TONS of campside trees.

Beautiful lake and beach. Good privacy and quiet campsites. There was dog crap in the tent site.

Your reservation system is ridiculous! You reserve sites 6 mos in advance to get a site, but when you show up most if not all of the reservable sites stand empty. Garbage is stashed everywhere, fire pits are broken, restrooms are consistently unstocked. Campsites designed for a camper or tent, will be overrun with both. Why stipulate the length of campers and number of people if there is absolutely no enforcement. Perhaps charging more per campsite along with a damage deposit would help curtail this reserve and never show system now in place. Perhaps enforcing the rules that are in place would be a starting point. Having used this campground consistently over the past 40 years, it is appalling to what it has become.

other campers ignored the quiet hours and ran generators until midnight. during the day the generators ran almost constantly . the restrooms were clean. trash service would be nice.

Clean, quiet, majestic lake made for a perfect camping experience. Kayaking was amazing as I hugged the shoreline full circumstance in quiet bliss.
