The campsite itself was great. It was sunny and open, which allowed my van to charge my solar generator easily. I didnt use the reserved site, site 73, since I was camping with friends across the street in sites 69 and 70, but the location overall was very nice.Unfortunately, our experience was negatively affected by one of the camp hosts. We were chopping up a fallen tree in our camp area when he came over and told us we werent allowed to do that anywhere in the campground. This was disappointing since the Forest Service encourages campers to process fallen wood to help reduce fire hazards. Instead of following that guidance, the host told us we could purchase firewood bundles from the camp hosts.He also presented a set of rules that did not appear to be official Forest Service regulations, which stated that chopping wood in the campground was not allowed. Because of this, we had to drive out of the campground and up the mountain to find fallen trees, chop them there, and haul the wood all the way back to our site. It felt like the host was enforcing his own version of the rules, which created unnecessary work and frustration.The campground itself was wonderful, but the experience with this host really took away from what could have been a perfect trip.

Many thanks to the hosts for bringing wood bundles directly to our campsite!

Loved this campsite! Very clean (even the restrooms-super clean!) and all the amenities needed for dry camping. Loved our location near the lake for fishing. Wished I had brought my dog. Next time!

The hosts were excellent and we often visit this lake on day trips. Wish more of the remote loops could be reserved rather than the high traffic ones along the roadway.

A great location with friendly staff. The sites are very clean with fire pits, BBQ's & metal food storage bins. Lots of trees and great for star viewing at night. Rose Canyon Lake is a nice reservoir. Great location for hiking as well.

Great!! I went with a fairly large group and we had a wonderful time eating camp food and going to the little lake. A great place for crawdad fishing. We watched the sunrise from a peak and had a perfect weekend!

This place is nice and quite very beautiful. Fishing and camping was very relaxing
