The campsites here are beautiful and spacious and even somewhat private. The lake is absolutely gorgeous. We were there during a storm, but I am eager to return with my SUP. Also, the hosts Missy and Jim are amazingvery friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

We arrived late, but there was someone to greet us and assist. We appreciate the late check in. We were driving in from Colorado. The reserved area was gorgeous and had everything we needed. Hope to go back for another visit.

Campsite #12 is fantastic for kids who love to climb. Its hard to get into with a camper because its facing the wrong way on a one way loop road.

Host was great! HUGE sites. Nice little walks and short hikes within the campsite. Bathrooms were a little stinky, but other than that, the place was great!

Beautiful campground and well maintained. Vault toilets were clean and campground was quiet and pleasant. Campground hosts were very nice. I would suggest they provide recycling receptacles next to the dumpsters. We look forward to a return visit.

We spent 4 days at this campground and loved it!! Campsites are very private with lots of shade.
