Customer Reviews
5-star for location, access to the lake, clean restrooms and lovely campground host. We stayed June 9-13, 2024, in campsite #5 with access to the lake, a view and level campsite. (Bring water, no water at this campground) Campsite #4 is more of a tent site and has the best access to the lake if bringing down kayaks and large items. Our camp neighbors were kind and let us use their lake access, as ours was steeper. The lake is awesome for fishing/boating/swimming and is surrounded by large granite boulders both in the water as islands and around the lake for exploring. Plan on a 3.6 mile of dirt road to arrive at the campground, there are some bumps/rocks/holes in the road. We have a 21-ft TT and had no issues; we saw longer TT also make their way into the campground. There are only 9 sites, and 2 are group sites, site 4-9 have the lake view/access. $25.00 a night and more for group site, we have the senior pass for $12.50 a night. It was mostly a full campground while we were there.
Nice little campsite with beautiful views of the lake and the stars. There is one bathroom but no running water as far as I know, so bring plenty of water. The water in the reservoir was cold but bearable enough to swim in. The only bad things we dealt with here is people running generators all night for their RVs and a drunk lady who started yelling and threatening us over our campfire.
Great experience! Awesome camp host. We'll be back for sure!
Most of the sites have amazing views of the lake and huge trees to camp under. Sites 1-3 are pretty private but 4-9 are wide open, which makes for gorgeous views but also means you can see and be seen by your neighbors.
The place is really nice, right next to the water. Camp host was super chill but what ruined our experience was the Karen's that camp there. Fully do your research before telling someone to put out a camp fire when it's allowed.
Camp host and her beautiful dog are sweethearts.
