The camp sites are mostly cozy spots good for a dome tent, camp kitchen, and screen house over the picnic table. That’s a good thing to have as the yellowjackets like to join meals. The lake is really nice. Large with lots of places to put a popup and spend the day. There’s a nice trail around it too. The first two nights we were there we heard 200-300 rounds of semi automatic gunfire nearby. The camp host explained that it was on private land. She also said that it wasn’t unusual to hear explosions as well. So there’s that. We were under Stage III fire restrictions and the campsite next to us had a campfire every night. The host did nothing to stop it. The vault toilets are well maintained and the campsite is really clean. Don’t think we’ll be back though.

Very Nice campsite next to the lake. There is restrooms, and drinking faucet. One of the few times I've seen drinking facets like this only for drinking. Bear boxes, tables, fire pit, BBQ. This campsite got it. The day use area up the road a little bit is very nice, has a beach to go swimming

This place is definitely a great place to camp. My husband and I went for 2 night camping at Giant Gap but we ended up stay just 1 night because it was really cold. And we didn't expect that it will rain or be super windy. Anyway, there is a toilet, table, grill, fire ring and bear lock for campers. Unfortunately, we are unable to start the fire because of the fire restriction at the moment. We stay at no. 23 but I would say no. 22 would be the best as there is no tree blocking you from the lake view. You can also walk around the lake. It will be couple hours of walk but it worth it! The trail is very nice as well. I will definitely go back there again when there is no fire restriction and perhaps in the beginning of summer. Super happy with this place
