Nice, well maintained campground. Too many people running their generators though. Probably better after September 1st. Very windy; too windy to canoe.
Beautiful, no potable water, great fishing and plenty of Beatle kill wood lying around for wood for the fire pits.
So this campground and the lake it is on its a true gem. However there is a need for a really clear understanding that the winds here can be treacherous, without exaggeration, and the storms can come in fast and fierce. It's really important to know this and be prepared for an oh sh!t scenario when coming here. Make sure your fire is DEAD out when you leave or go to bed, make sure your gear is secured and food packed up, and if you have a fun shelter or free standing tent make sure it's staked and/or weighted down. While the forest service has removed many of the dead trees, the day after our trip and subsequent storms there were dozens more that had toppled in the wind. Be considerate of this when deciding where to put your tent.
Been going there for over 30 years….with that being said…it has become over ran with people who have little respect for the forest, wildlife and others trying to enjoy the area.
Lake and area is great! Don't camp in sites they're poorly maintained and not worth a penny.
