This place was kept pristinely clean by camp hosts. Every site looked like a great spot to camp. The lake, the people, the beautiful trees- loved it! Can’t wait to go back.

We loved our stay at site 11! It had an incredible view of the lake, plus was close to the trail down to the lake and the bathroom was right across the way. Deb the camp host was super helpful and kind! If you have very young kids just be aware that site 11 does have a steep drop off. Our kids are a bit older so wasn’t a problem just something to take note of. Great stay and new tradition for our family!

This is a great campground that is great for tent camping. Deb is a great camp host who remembers us from when we camped here last year.
