It’s a beautiful place. Nice road. Dry camping. There is an electrical stand. Looks like it is most likely for the new camp host site.

Beautiful rugged well-kept campground. Large campsites —first come first serve. Only drawback- lots of mosquitoes!!

Absolutely amazing. Quite. Lots of wild life shockingly very little misquotes didnt get a single bite not even come night fall this is a first for me. Now the lightning is no joke a flash of light followed with what sounded like a meteor hitting the ground right next to me immedietly after this sound underneeth me i could feel the power of this bold ripping through the ground a rumble so emmence riped through the ground the vibration was heart stoping whilist at the same time the loudest thunder riped through the sky starting at my left ear making a full circle 360 degrees and after that the sound roared over all surrounding mountians abnout 25 seconds of rumble i have never experenced some stuff like this in my life. there was alot of thunder n light at 1 point another bolt that hit a tree close by causing a explosive trunk sound but the close volt was about 20 times louder as we were about in the center of this strike. Thanks for reading had to tell some 1 this place gets 5 star what i experenced will probably never happen again in a life time so it dont effect my stars rating.

Great little campground for relaxing by the lake, it does have issues certain times of the year. You might want to have bug spray handy due to horseflies and mosquitoes. Later in the season it hasn't been a issue. If your in to relaxing on the lake, kayaks would be a nice way to get around the lake.

Really beautiful and secluded campground, the fact that it is free and has public bathrooms are big pluses. It was a calm camping trip listening to the water and watching the sunsets!

This was our first free campground, so we didn’t really know what we were getting ourselves into. This one might have set the bar high for other free campsites, though. It was pretty well laid out, seemed to be cared for, and the lake and surrounding forest were really pretty. Getting to the campground wasn't bad. It is located in a National Forest, so we were nervous about the condition of the roads. Luckily, it was mostly paved roads except the final 5 miles. We followed the directions from Google Maps and found it easily. When you pull into the campground, there are a few sites to the right but the bulk of the sites are to the left. Most of the spots appear to be for tent camping or smaller RVs. We stayed in site 9 and didn't have too much trouble getting in with our 20 foot trailer and Tundra. It would have been easier to get in had we known ahead of time that there were turnarounds at each end of the campground. Since we didn't know, we had to do a weird maneuver using one campsite in order to back into the one we had chosen. The is a perfect place to escape off grid, as there isn’t much of a cell signal - even with our cell booster. There is no water or electric, but there are a couple of pit toilets. We have a toilet in our trailer, so we didn’t use the pit toilets, but they seemed clean enough. There were quite a few kayakers out enjoying the lake, which was calm and very inviting. We had some ducks come right up to the shoreline at our site, and we saw a loon way out in the distance. The lake is surrounded by trees and there are a bunch of vacation homes on the other side. We only stayed 1 night but wish we could have stayed longer. There is a 14-day limit, which we would love to take advantage of another time. We camped on a Saturday towards the end of July and there were plenty of sites still available. There are 19 total sites, most of which are right on the lake, but a few are across the gravel road.
