There is zero water behind the campground. You have to drive to the boat ramp to put your boat (kayak, canoe etc) into the water. The lake is so low in June that it was half gone already. Higher elevations are colder at night. Bring a heater! Camp sights are nicely spread out to five you lots of room. Volted bathroom was cleaned and supplied daily. Caught zero fish there so drove to Elk lake to catch big fish!

Great solitary, quiet campground. If you don't like crowds, this is the campsite for you. There are no hook-ups, but the bathrooms are clean (no sink, toilet only). Large sites, lots of chipmunks, easy walking distance to the lake. A quick drive over to paddle Hosmer Lake. We would camp here again : )

Very secluded sites. Great location next to lake. Gravel road for about 1.5 miles that would be better with an AWD vehicle. The campground wasn’t crowded at all when we were there. Unfortunately, the mosquitos were out of control the first weekend in June and we had to leave a night early. No fun just sitting in your tent because you and your dog can’t be outside without getting 20 bites in one sitting. Also bring your own fire wood as no camp host came around and was stationed at another camp ground. We also had some extremely loud campers who decided it was cool to yell at the top of their lungs at 3am. Not the campground’s fault though and neither are the mosquitos!

Then map used to make reservations is not quite accurate. The restrooms are located between 4 and 6. The garbage cans are there as well. Because we did not want to be next to either of those we ended up finding another site which was great. The camp was not that full so it was very peaceful and quiet. a short walk to the water. We did find it interesting that there was a note on the restrooms stating that it was difficult to keep them as clean and sanitary as they would like with the Covid ordeal so asked us to be sure to use our own sanitation. However, there was no fresh water available because "it was a communal spot". We couldn't practice our own sanitation for that? Doggie bags are available to clean up after our dogs. Why couldn't we use bags to hold the pump handle then dispose of them? all in all it was a good few days. Kids had a blast.
