Lovely campground. Higher elevation so it was cooler. Beautiful night skies. The only drawback was noisy neighbors who talked loudly into the we boys if the morning. (I know all about the upcoming nuptials and who is sitting where). The lake is lovely and there were many fishing the banks.

Great campground, and nice host couple. Stunning views of the Ruby Mts., and spacious, paved sites/pads. Site 9 is very steep, not ideal for RV, but workable.

We had site #18 and it was very nice. It is a large spot and has a lot of shade from trees.
