It's a great campground. Some sites can be reserved. Others are on come first basis. The lake is nearby. Bathrooms have flush toilets and kept clean. No host in 2022. Beware of bears. Don't leave food outside or in your tent. Unfortunately, only a few sites have bear boxes.

Been here twice now and love it! There are no showers and food should be stored in coolers and bins IN THE CAR! There are bears and they know what a ice chest looks like. It's warm during the day, it's cool at night it is the perfect camping experience!
