Good location to the Ice lake and Island lake trails. We were there around late September so it's winter price $20/day (lower than their $40 regular charges but still pricey compared to other better maintained campgrounds). No host when we were there, meaning no management at all. No drinking water. Most of the restrooms were locked and only one opened. It was somewhat smelly but bearable overall.

As of 10/2, there’s no host onsite, not sure if it’s because of the gov shutdown or just being end of season. Plenty of open spots when I checked in at 2pm and remained so throughout the day. You can self serve and attach payment receipt to your spot to lock it, it’s $20 per night now and def recommend it if you wanna do the Ice lake trail that’s literally just across the road.

Wonderful campground with wonderful hosts! Very private sites, great views and right next to Ice Lakes Trail. Randy and his wife were fabulous hosts, welcoming everyone and helping with all kinds of info on hikes and local amenities. They managed the campground very well so that it was a great experience for all. Thank you to you both.

Beautiful campsite perfect if you’re looking for a place to camp that’s close to trails and has plenty of good drinking water, it also has bathrooms that are locked to all non campers so that is nice! My only complaint would be that the host was a bit over bearing, nothing against the guy it might just be his personality but none the less a great camp site but also a bit high if you’re trying camp on a budget at 40$ a night with no electricity hook up, or phone signal.. seemed a bit pricey for what you’re getting IMHO Would recommend but there’s also some great dispersed camping on the same road that are way better in my opinion. The campsite itself gets 5 stars for views and location but I give it a 4 star because the host was a bit overbearing.

We had a really nice experience . We were lucky to secure a site last minute . We were welcomed by the host. She was super nice and very informative . If you are planning to hike the Ice lake and Island Lake , this is the closest and the best spot to camp. The trailhead is just infront on it. The restrooms were very clean, the site was quiet . There was a very beautiful waterfalls closeby that you can visit while camping there . Great camping spot !
