Should’ve been called Camp Kindling. I don’t know whose bright idea it was to pour sticks and cuttings, not mulch actual huge sticks and branches, over the entire campground but it was a choice. We didn’t stay because there was nowhere to pitch a tent and frankly I was concerned about the fire hazard. Absolutely boneheaded decision by whomever is managing that campground.

The campsite location was in a really good spot but all the trees at Campsite 13 were cut down so the picture on the site needs to be updated. We ended up moving to a first come first serve campsite in another part of the campground which was much nicer and had more shade.

There seemed like renovation of the campground was on going. There needs to be cleaning up of down trees. They are everywhere at a lot sites. The lake looks beautiful but there is no real beach for swimming as there are large rocks along the shoreline.

Was a nice campsite. Wpuld have preferred to be closer tk the lake. This site was in the middle of a vault toilet and flush toilets. Bith bathrooms were clean well kept. There was random super loud music that started at almost midnight but stopped after 30 min. Overall it was quite and peaceful.

Sites in the middle of a fire area look like slash piles that are poorly cleaned. This campground should be closed until they clean or burn the slash. Dust is 1 inch deep in the areas where slash isnt on the ground. It was so poor I left and found another site; waste of money.

Maybe ATV trail could be rerouted by National Forest? Most riders were considerate, but a few were not, revving their engine and accelerating as they drove by at any hour of the night. Would be a huge upgrade to have a flushing bathroom with running water. Trash cans got full during our stay and nobody came to empty. Found multiple nails in areas around the campsite where vehicles drive, cleanup crew needs to use magnets. The water pump does not work well if at all. Had to go across street to dump station for potable water.
