By far one of our favorite camp grounds year round. Cute non motorized lake, marked hiking trails, nice large sites that feel private, vault toliets, and close to many other adventures and beauty. We have been here more times than I can remember.

The bathrooms were clean and maintained well. The rustic campground was exactly what we were looking for. Multiple spacious lots and access to wells.
