Backpacked for a few days at the lakes. Was last week of July, not super hot, first creek from mystery lake was still slowly flowing. Stayed at mystery lake and the one above it. Only very light mosquitos out for the 3 day trip. Fishing was very rough for the first two lakes. Absolutely beautiful area though. Hike was not bad at all to the first two lakes. Trail coming back from Mystery lake to the parking lot was a little rough to see leaving the lake heading down to the canyon. (Also there in no cell service if that is something you are considering)

Absolutely our favorite family hide away. Quiet, slow paced and relaxing. Swimming holes and fishing 🎣

Very clean. Well maintained. The Hosts were friendly and keep things ship shape. The showers run by the nearby store were a bit run down. Two were out of order so there was a waiting line. People felt a bit unhappy about it and a 4 minute shower costs $4....

Great camp host Tammy helped us decipher a 3 leaf ground over. Thanks Tammy for letting us know it was wild berries and not the bad 3 leafs! Good to know that with the elevation, we should be er see the bad 3 leafs! Fi key was beautiful, neighbors great and we stayed in #10 which is always a shady favorite near swimming and hiking up to the ghost town.
