Beautiful location set against the mountains. Clean bathrooms and shower with unlimited hot water. Dog friendly. Picnic table. Pretty & stocked lake only for fishing. There is a shooting range right next to this campground. There was enough shooting that we won’t be back. If they could relocate that, this place would be a gem.

While it’s really a very pretty area, there are limited activities. Beautiful beach, but you’re not allowed to swim or do boating stuff. You can look at the lake and fish, that’s it. For the triathlons, organizers get a special permit, but I don’t think I’d come out here to look a the lake.

We are enjoying out stay. The weather is perfect today. Our view from our campsite was beautiful today. The moonrise was stunning!

Spent two nights here. I loved the campground, warm showers, and the beautiful night sky. The lake is always a plus.

We enjoyed our stay here for a few nights recently… good sized camp spots and the toilets were fairly clean too. When they stock the lake with fish, it can get pretty busy around the edges for fishing, but overall there are some good facilities here
