I'm not sure how smart Google is at this point. I can't really rate the rooms and service at a campground. I AM the service, so, I'll give it 5 stars. We surely ate well. Neighbor campers left a cooler out, and a bear made a lot of noise getting into it. Anyway, use the bear lockers for food. Even the drip tray on my Blackstone was in the bearproof lockers. Beautiful campground, clean, host was available for questions.

First time camping here. The area was perfect nice šŸ‘ but the bathrooms are nusty lots and lots of flies and yellow jackets šŸ flying around. Got scared to used their bathroom. The staff lady was RUDE first wen we come in she came with her golfcart at first i said its okay? The next day we were singing ( karaoke) we weren’t breaking any rules? We are not singing in the middle of the night? It was 10am? We just wanted to do something while our other friends preparing lunch? And here she comes saying we have to low our singing like just only us can hear? WHAT? Then that night the white people who where accros us they where doing loud music and never see that lady staff came? I feel like she is RACIST? My sister actually clean the toilet for us to used! So I say never recommend ice house camp ground? Please don’t go there? Staff lady was Rude! Bathrooms are nusty and no hot shower there is one but you pay by coins and its far away!

This campground was fantastic! It seems like it was recently renovated. The campsites are well maintained with spacious parking pads and lots of room for camp gear. There are multiple pit toilets well located throughout the campground, so that no site is very far from a bathroom. The water spigots are similarly well distributed. The campground hosts were on it and checked on us right away upon pulling into our site. The lake has great mountain views and lots of room for recreation. I earnestly look forward to coming back.

I’ve been going to icehouse with my family since I was 8 years old I am now 28 and bring my car šŸ˜‚ All in all it is well kept everywhere you go, they have places to fish, and swim. You can set off in a boat, and usually there are a lot of boats. The rangers are usually nice but they’re just aching to give you a ticket for whatever they can. Had one give my dad a ticket on the way back from a week long trip for a cracked windshield that happened while we were camping so I don’t see how we could have had it fixed before we had even left the forest.

We didn’t have reservations so it was kinda confusing figuring out where we could camp but after all that the camp sites were super nice and clean the bathrooms were clean.it was one of the most quietest camping sites I’ve ever been to I mean really really quiet even in the day time so if your thinking of going there and cutting loose this wouldn’t be the spot. Otherwise it was great.

The camp hosts at Boulder Loop were very nice, and informative with regards to future opportunities, The camp hosts at the boat launch were also very friendly. The bathrooms were very clean and had trash cans. We absolutely loved the fact that there was a shower available. What a gorgeous view. We stayed in number 65, which was right next to the camp host, We were very happy that it was quiet and that we could enjoy ourselves and relax. When it was time to be quiet, we could still sit outside and listen to nature. The whole reason why you go camping.Loud music... just peace. The campsites are a bit away from the water, a little walk but definitely worth it. We appreciated that they were animal-friendly. We will absolutely go again!

Great camping spot! We spent a lot of time on the lake with our paddleboards. And it was great that people seemed to leave everyone's stuff alone at the beach areas. Vault toilets were pretty clean as far as I could see, but no hand sanitizer or soap. I tried the shower at the boat dock and it was pretty good too. Only complaint on the shower was there is no timer to know when your 4 minutes for $3 is going to be up, so I ended up putting in $6 for one shower. It only took 30 seconds or so to start getting warm. We used the bear lockers pretty well but never saw any bear activity unless they were very quiet. The pictures were from the double site 60. It was relatively close to the water. We got a few sites next to each other which worked out ok but might have been better if we got adjacent one back to back. Only complaint about the bear locker is that the knockout holes in the back were still covered. This made it difficult to put our electric cooler in there and leave it plugged in.

The camp sites are all pretty large with fire pits, drinkable water, and camp host with wood for sale. Nice swimming off a rocky beach area. Pit toilets, $3 showers, and bear boxes at each camp site
