This campground was heavily damaged by a windstorm in late summer 2020. As of May 2022 the downed trees and hazard trees look to have been hauled away. Lots of brush remains. What was once a heavily wooded campground is now almost completely open. The campground is built into a hill sloping up from the lake, so with most trees gone, nearly every site now has a lake view. It appears it will be some time before this campground reopens. A massive pine tree looks to have snapped the water pump in half when it fell; the hand pump has yet to be replaced. Fortunately the vault toilet buildings and most picnic tables escaped the storm unscathed. Golden Lake remains a very nice campground adjacent to an equally nice lake great for fishing or swimming. Hopefully the campground reopens soon.
