Awesome little campground!! Just the right size, only 8 spots so you need to plan ahead. It is a little ways in , so make sure and bring plenty of water as there is none supplied.
Amazing campground with a steep narrow access road. Fishing was fantastic but the water was warm and the fish were noticeably stressed.
One of my most favorite places. Fishing,camping,and trails to ride the canam
Lovely little overnighter off 75. Looks like it's normally well maintained but mid September found the vault toilet lacking paper AND the sprinklers turned on a little after 10 AM soaking us, out dog, our chairs and table. We left immediately after rescuing our stuff and drying all of us hastily with towels. What the heck?
Great location away from it all, perfect size small lake for fishing
Beautiful place. Plenty of trout in the lake. Campsite was nice with a picnic table and fire pits. There were pit toilets. The road up was a little rough in a couple spots, but I made it up in a minivan.
