My group and I enjoyed our stay in this campgroup. We reserved Group C, it has the most even ground to set up camp, and closest to the water (2 minute walk). There is a lot of rocks all along the water so be careful it gets slippery. No showers there but the campground before does have showers. Only 4 bear boxes available for such a big party capacity is weird, however, we didnt see any bears in the two nights we were there. It is easy to get to but dont rely on google maps because it sends you the wrong way, just read signs very well. Would definitely camp here again. Lots of mosquitoes so beware. Flushing toilets, bring your own soap. There was signal for most of the people in my party just depends on carrier and phone.

Campground was not opened, had to travel miles up the road to Mule Creek for service to call but the number provided was no longer in service. Had to call Rec.gov, and was informed that the only gate code had expired the year prior - luckily it worked as there is not enough service at the gate for a phone call. Sites had not been cleaned since the last party - there were boxes/trash in the fire pits, stray beer cans, and cigarette butts. Bathrooms did not appear to have been cleaned. For the amount charged it was not worth the stay.

We have been going there for years and this year the place was super dirty, trash was everywhere. Bathrooms were brought in for use because they had no water, but they didn’t bring in hand washing stations which was unacceptable.

We love this camp ground especially when the lake is full. We have been going there for 10 years now. It is clean, has a fabulous middle group eating and hanging out area, the lake view is gorgeous, along with the hiking trail that leaves from camp.
