This is a beautiful campground and usually very well maintained, even though the bathrooms are out houses, all the other times we have camped here, they were clean and did not smell horrible, unfortunately, this trip, they were not clean and smelled so bad we had it wafting into our campsites the whole weekend and had to cover our faces just to go in and use the bathrooms. We also had a hard time not have any water at all, thank goodness I checked the week before we went and saw they had turned it all off, or we would have been struggling with that. Because of the location and beauty and peaceful spot that this campground it, we will try our group campout here again, and hope that the experience with the bathrooms and water will be much improved.

Great campground which was quiet, secluded, and clean. Our site was very nice. The Forest Service does a great job with the upkeep of this campground.

For a second year the water was shut off at the campground. We only had water on Monday of the reservation. Tuesday - Friday, we had no water. Forrest management told us that too much chlorine had been added to the water system and did not know when the water would be available. Once again camping without access to any water. Required driving to Ephraim to buy water for drinking and buy meals because we could not cook and clean-up without water. No notification of any kind that there has been ongoing water issues. One of the main reasons as a large family reunion we choose this campground. With water issues two years in a row, we wii be reconsidering our next location for a family reunion.

The campground was very beautiful and clean. We saw plenty of fish in the lake. I was impressed with how well the grounds was maintained.

It is beautiful in that area, but the campground was not. We stayed in the group campground 1 and it is very small for a large group. Our party was 22 people, 8 that were kids, we had 3 trailers and 4 tents and it was difficult to find enough flat areas to set up our tents. There is a very large picnic table, which was great, but the biggest issue is that there is a vault toilet at the bottom of the hill, but it only has one stall that is servicing 2 group areas, other campsites, and the small reservoir. When we first got there, the smell was so overwhelming that it made it difficult to even go in. There was 1 roll of toilet paper. The ranger came the day after we got there and put in an additional 5 rolls of toilet paper, which was gone that next morning. We had to take our own toilet paper down each time. There was mud at the entrance way to the toilet, which was not cleaned up and the smell was still horrible. They should have at bare minimum someone assigned to squirt out the restroom. We knew we would have to haul out our garbage, which is not a problem, but the biggest issue was the lack of restrooms to service that big of an area. We would not recommend this campsite if you have a large group.

The site has a huge table that was perfect for us to use. There are plenty of smaller little flat spaces for lots of tents. There is a vault toilet just down the hill from it.
