Nugget lake campground

I remember when that dam was being built. And the town had great big, damn days celebration for a weekend. It was wonderful. But I don't think enough people in the community take advantage of everything that's out there. When I return there to visit, I stay with my girlfriend and a couple years ago I said let's go kayaking book and she really didn't want to, but we went and we had a blast. I mentioned to a few other people that they should go up there and check it out. It is such a beautiful view, even if you just go canoeing or take a kayak out the water and the woods surrounding the area are just beautiful. I bet right now the leaves look all colors but green. Nothing like viewing the leaves, changing colors sitting in a Kayak. And I have learned that a lot more people in the area have started using this wonderful facility available in a small community. Which I was very happy to hear.

Nugget lake is great. They have boats/canoes/kayaks to rent and if you want to fish, I'd recommend renting one or bring your own. The lake is very weedy until you paddle out farther. Plum river is fun to walk around and in. Plenty of trails to hike. Tons of wild life too see and entertainment for the little guys. They show a movie out side on weekends. It's a great spot for you and the family. Also, barrow a pan from the office and try a little gold mining in the river. Not going to get rich but it is satisfying to see a tiny spec of gold shimmering back at you.

We had 9 campers...6 kids and 3 moms. What a great place. The comfort station was not too far. Level spot to set up our tents. The bugs were not an issue, either. We're already planning a trip next summer!

Great place to go and enjoy kayaking, panning, and family fun! Just wish they had some sites without power .

This is an annual family destination in the summer. The campground is gorgeous, and the showers and restrooms are always stocked and clean. They even have some fun nature movies at their outdoor amphitheater! Staff is friendly and always available.

I've nearly grown up at this campground, and while the reservation process is a bit technically behind in this day and age, I think it's absolutely worth it. The campground is well cared for, and almost always quiet. If you're looking to get rowdy or make a bunch of noise with vehicles and such, a different campground would be better suited. This is a peace and relaxation campground, not bring your brats or bros and make a bunch of noise throughout the day campground. It has great tree cover throughout, and excellent privacy between campsites. Shady is the keyword here, not blistering under summer sun sort of sites. The bathrooms are always stocked with essentials, and are kept clean as can be. Smell is at a minimum. Another nice feature is the lake, near the bottom of the campground. It's a short walk, with several beautiful trails that weave in and out of the woods, over little water features and several creeks/rivers. Overall -- one of my favorite campgrounds I've stayed at to date.
