Disappointed at the lack of education regarding bears and garbage. There were NO signs asking people to lock bins and NO working locks on main campsite bins; only the newer ones outside the campgrounds had working locks.People are ignorant and you need to spell it out; "USE CLIP EACH TIME YOU USE BIN". Bins were 98%full when we arrived on a Friday. Completely unacceptable in peak season. Campers then left bags of trash next to the bins and wondered why a bear came in before quiet.PLEASE get your host to get new clips and swap ild bins for new ones with lids that actually fit. It is unfair for wildlife.

Great campground with a nice lake area that has large granite slabs that are easy to walk on.

Hosts Virginia and Mike Daniel elevated our rating to excellent otherwise the rating would be lower. Virginia and Mike welcomed us and made us feel right at home and took the the time to personalize our visit with us and all of our guests. Best Hots ever..... "5 Star". The biggest disappointment was that the campground was designated as a no campfire campground because of wood chips dispersed around the camp sites during rennovation while the other campgrounds around the lake were permitted campfires. Also, the toilets were pit toilets not flush toilets as stated on the website.

To be clear, there was no problem at Yellowjacket but that was the only choice that I found suitable. We could not get through due to a fire on Ice House Road on 6/21. We have submitted for a refund and it is currently pending.We ended up going back down to Sly Park as we were fully loaded to camp and no way to get through.Kathy Temby

The grounds were well maintained and the staff was friendly and very helpful. We really enjoyed the paved walking trail between campgrounds (Wolf Creek if memory serves). The views were spectacular, the evening thundershowers just added to the awe inspiring vistas and allowed for some great photography. We were a bit far from the lake and the shore closest to us was steep and rocky. It did not allow for easy access for canoes or kayaks, but swimming would be fine. There is a boat ramp and truck/trailer parking within the campground but I don't know about mooring facilities. We are self contained so I can't speak of the restrooms but the rest of the site was clean and well kept and there seemed to be plenty of restrooms around the campground..
