Spent four nights tent camping here in late July. Very scenic, near lots of good hiking including an easy walk around the lake. Plenty of people fishing and paddling on the lake. Sadly the snow this year made it too cold for swimming. Campsites 21 through 26 are walk-in, meaning hauling your stuff about 500 feet from the parking area and a good walk from potable water and non-bush toilets. Site 26 is a bit up hill. Campsites each have a large bear box. Overall a great place. Next year I'll come later in the season for hoping for a slightly a warmer lake and less mosquitoes.

This is an amazing campground for tents, vans and very small trailers. A bit of a drive to a town with facilities. The road out to this campground is wide and very well maintained. The lake is very beautiful! If you want a remote, beautiful, clean camping spot, this is it.

So many beautiful things to say about this place where do I begin. The fishing is excellent, lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery. Children friendly, campgrounds are all amazing. Be sure to drink lots of fluids and bring electrolytes (gatorades) this place is dry and will pull all the fluids from you. Nights are cold so bundle up. Bear country so be prepared. Its normal to see people with firearms for safety here.

So thrilled to be able to enjoy day-use of this beautiful place. It's perfect for families to come and picnic, kayak, swim, fish, etc. We especially enjoyed walking the entire perimeter of the lake, on a well-marked trail.

This place is top notch for a walk-in campground and is so gorgeous all around the lake. I even went for a quick five minute swim. My only complaint was that the mosquitoes were a nuisance when at the campsite during breakfast and preparing the campfire/dinner. I would recommend bringing plenty of bug spray to sustain you for your entire stay here.
