People were playing guitars and singing until 2 am. Camp host never came by to ask them to stop. The guitar playing and singing began at 10 pm. We were in site #17, and the group playing the music was right next to us. Also, the website showed that this campground had flush toilets. The toilets were boarded up, and porta potties were placed next to the former restrooms. The porta potties were absolutely disgusting, overflowing with filth and no toilet paper. This campground is disgusting, and we will never stay here again. We left after one night, and sought refuge at Yellowjacket campground which was 100 percent better. Update your website regarding campground status, and ask camp hosts to enforce the rules, ie, quiet time 10 pm. Thank you.

We love this location! Great, large camping spots, flush toilets, and easy access to the Lake. It's a short drive to the Bassey Falls Trailhead, which is a favorite of ours as well.

The water was at a good level but was cold. Normally we enjoy the bike paths, but this year they were covered with debris.
During the week, we had over 40 people sharing 9 sites and most of the bathrooms were out-of-order during the week. At one point we had only one working toilet that still had to be flushed with a bucket of water you had to draw and take in the stall with you.
During the weekend, sometimes you had to stand in line to use the working toilets.
Many times when we went to use the bathroom we had to take our own toilet paper because they were not stocked with enough.
