Nice campground right next to the lake. Good sites with views of the lake, fire pits, tables and bear proof storage lockers for those tent camping. Bathroom was spotless and there are trash receptacles also. No water taps..just the lake but I wouldn't drink it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because it has the worst mosquitos I have encountered all summer. Was there mid Aug '23. Cost is $20 per night or $10 if you have a Parks or Access Pass. Road in is gravel and can be washboard pretty bad in places but any type of vehicle can get into the campground.
There are about 6 spots by the water pretty close quarters...these spots are $16 for the single spots $32 for the double, check out is 2pm. Bathrooms. Trash Cans. No Water aside from Lake. *But up the road are a couple free spots if they arent taken.
Free camp, actually we arrived late but there is huge places for canping so we asked a guy if we can share the place with him. It is nice lake there and the road is not so terrible as for similar camps in Yellowstone area.
Found this hidden gem after being disappointed with hoe commercialized the KOA's in the area were. A bit of gravel and dirt roads but we made it on two sport bikes. Nice big lots with a good lake! A lot of mosquito's though so be prepared for that. If you're looking for real camping this is the place.
Looks like a nice place to stay in the summer. We we're here in September woke up to snow on the ground. Road in is unpaved but our Class C handled with out too much trouble. Max 16 days stay.
