Gregory S ★ 3 · Oct 2025Great place to enjoy the lake. Way too long of a walk to the restroom, there was no water at the spigots. I probably won’t return.
Darrell H ★ 4 · Oct 2025Camp hosts were amazing. Area was clean. Would be great if they could get the water on.
Destiny S ★ 5 · Oct 2025Great campsite — very clean with a large, spacious area and plenty of parking right in front. Some areas were slightly uneven, but we easily found a perfectly level spot for our rooftop tent, which worked great. The stars were incredible at night with a completely unobstructed view. The bathrooms were clean and just a short walk away. The water level was very low, but we still enjoyed paddle boarding and fishing in the mornings. The camp hosts were very friendly — overall, an amazing campground, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Vault toilets and a potable water source are available within the loop. Trees here are a mix of lodgepole pine and fir scattered across an otherwise open shoreline, so some sites offer little shade while others sit in full sun; many campsites afford di…
