It was beautiful but couldn't camp everything was full ended up going to upper blue lake which was even better and camped there highly recommend upper blue lake.

Lake is beautiful, campground is pretty good except that most of the sites are incredibly too close to each other, nice lake access, WONDERFUL campground host (David)...but the MOSQUITOS were relentless morning and early evening to overnight! I mean brutal! No amount of multiple layers or spray or smoke from a fire deterred them. It is also extremely windy. I left a day early even though I had already paid. I couldn't take the mosquitos anymore.

We loved it, even though the water was down and the temperature was low, the surrounding area is beautiful, plus we caught fish and released them to get bigger plus make more fish for the future.

Pretty remote and usually not too crowded.
