We have been here every year for the past seven years, but this summer was the first time we had a bad experience. The camp host in the north loop was a single old guy who was rude when we first arrived because I think he was trying to seduce a lady that was camping there and I had told her to call her dog away from our site. It looked more like she was living there permanently. She would let her dog loose in order to strike up conversations with the incoming campers. The camp host was playing his 80's hair band music super loud and was always coming around her tent. It was weird and didn't feel like other years where it was more family oriented. The previous camp hosts were always friendly, respectable older couples that kept a nice environment. Also the sites weren't taken care of very well. The tables were in need of repairs and there was grass/weeds on the area where the tent was supposed to be placed. Even walking over the steps was a trip hazard.

Peaceful and beautiful. We took a bunch of kids from church and we were only one of two groups. The guy who took us said it's not normally crowded. The bathrooms are clean. The swim area is well maintained. Worth the drive.

This is a charming and remote campground. The campsites and restrooms are a bit rustic, but everything is in working order and the restroom has warm water in the shower. We stayed on the south loop and if I were to stay again, I think I'd aim for site 10 or 11 as they're near the restroom and the loop is small enough that I don't think there'd be too much traffic. The lake is cute but I wish they offered boat rental.

Really enjoyed the camping experience in this magical forest. The camp managers were very friendly and helpful. The only downside was the mowers and weed cutters that we encountered while hiking a trail and also had to endure while eating lunch at our campsite. I would prefer more weeds and fewer encounters with loud machinery. Despite that annoyance, I would definitely go back! Great atmosphere and facilities in a striking setting.
