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?

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.
