Amazing place with the wildlife and nature. We enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets there. Clean, quiet and peaceful. One toilet was closed, so it was a little surprise, but still not bad. No cell service at all - thing that I liked the most. Every spot has a fire pit, food locker and picnic tables. We will come back but only after they open the main road, I wouldn’t want take a risk again and have 1 hour drive through the detour. If you decide to go, make sure that you have all necessary tools for fixing the flat tire. Put your thumbs up if my review comes helpful for you.

Very pretty lake, clean campsites, very close to the lake, friendly host, no light in bathroom (clean, but after people started to arrive it was getting more dirty), it’s quiet. The only thing that we didn’t like was the drive, very bumpy and dangerous. We asked around for another route before leaving, we found a route that was much much better. Overall liked it but not sure if we will be back. But definitely nice to visit once.

This campground is one of, if not the best national forest campground that I've ever been to. The weekend campers were a little more rowdy that we would've liked, but since we were camping there mostly during the weekdays during our week long trip, it was honestly one of the best experiences I've had at one of these campgrounds. The amenities and camp host were fantastic! The camp hosts were really accommodating and friendly. You simply can't beat how wonderful the sites were and the proximity to the lake. My father-in-law booked it because of past experiences with his grandfather, and I will be coming here with many more experiencea with my daughter!

Campsite 56, beautiful spot went this weekend with some buddies and honestly maybe 3 couples would be max for this site. bear bins and table as well as fire pit included. Bathrooms are closed so they have porta potties which are freshly stocked with rolls of toilet paper but I'd bring some just in case and some wet wipes. water is provided but they don't want you to wash anything in it for sanitary reasons. trash cans are cleaned almost every hour during the day. The beach is filled with rocks and is super hot so id HIGHLY recommend a tarp or tent and bring water with you and put tons of sunscreen especially during summer months. This is not a spot for people who want seclusion and there's NO reception anywhere. pre download your maps cause driving out we had to off-road low-key cause part of mosquito rd driving in was closed due to fire maintenance. would visit again loved this spot, beautiful views
