Serene and clean! This spot is a gem. Camp host was very nice as well. Love that its dog friendly.

If you want off the grid fun, try Gerle Creek, but don’t expect any frills here. While the website quoted that drinkable water was available, when we showed up, there was a tiny sign sign potable water wasn’t available. This is an important thing campers need to know. Fortunately, we’d brought enough from our previous stopover at Loon Lake. Gerle has pit toilets, and while well versed in back country camping, these were a special kind of vile! We never saw the camp host in the two days there, but fortunately didn’t need them.

The pinnacle of the trip is the lake though. Everything about it makes the trip worth it. What stunning beauty. Fun. Excitement. It is perfect for families with smaller kids or bigger kids. Bring your kayaks and small rowable boats.

The campsites themselves were very clean and well kept. Most were fairly shady even in the terrible heatwave we were experiencing while there.

Overall, we’d definitely go back. We’d just expect to have mostly filthy bathrooms and water that was unavailable.
