Excellent views. Hosts are extremely nice folks and take great care of the campground. Went out on the canoe and caught some rainbow trout! Be advised, strong winds likely, use any available spots on your tent to tie extra guylines.

A beautiful drive to a gorgeous wooded campground, the reservoir and miles of offroad trails. Boat rentals at the marina, razor rentals at the outpost. A mountian playground where the bears roam and the fish are biting. Highly reccomend!
