We was the ones Stranded there . Would I ever go back ABSOLUTELY YES EVERY DAY . We love Cane Patch we won’t go anywhere else PLEASE OPEN IT BACK UP
Clementine Kruczynski
Has the possibility to be s really nice campground. Over 30 sites, in three separate areas. Hammock trees are few, and far between. Most of the vault toilets were closed, and the main bathroom was the biggest issue. The womens shower drains exceptionally slow, and you'll end up in standing water. The bathroom issues are the reason for only 3 stars. Location was great, if things are mowed the tent sites are great, you get free access to Phillips Creek.

There is nothing for kids to do here, unless you bring something for them, they will get bored fast. There used to be swings and slides but that they as a few years ago

One of the best kept campgrounds anywhere, in a beautiful scenic mountain setting. Never crowded, friendly hosts, and right on the upper tip of the lake. Teeming with every kind of wildlife. Be bear aware.
