Overall, this is a very nice campground with very reasonable fees and easy online reservations. We will definitely be staying here again. Stayed here for 2.5 weeks in August-September 2021. I would recommend avoiding campsites 3,4,6, and 7, as they flood when it rains (from the lake coming into the campsite). Site 6 will be completely under water the quickest. Site 8 will also take on water. These sites are also directly on the path to Ward Lake...lots of foot traffic right by your campsite, which can be annoying and loud. The outhouses were simple and clean. There is bear proof storage for your food. Bring your own lock to lock the storage bin though. The park attendant was on site most of the time. Unfortunately, we were harassed by a Forest Ranger for our dog not being on a leash on our campsite (not out in the footpath, not running around, he was right by us, small dog). He kept bugging us for our names to put on a warning list. So beware of bored rangers patrolling the campsite looking for things to harass you over. Otherwise, a wonderful stay!

Beautiful place to park, designated trash receptacles are bear proof and also keeps camp site clean. Great lake for fishing, hiking, and if your a little more adventurous take the Perseverance Trail over the Traverse and take a taxi back to camp. This is an epic hike. I did not see showers here but there is a gym in town you could use (rec center). There is a bathroom but just a toilet in a building with a hole in the ground.

It's a great place to camp, but they don't clean the bathrooms enough and trash removal need so little attention but it's a beautiful lake and a beautiful place to camp

Beautiful place but crowded lots of day use. I was cussed out by a mother when I was backing into my campsite because her kids were running ahead of her. So watch out for little kids. Or find somewhere more secluded.

Clean, quiet and pristine. Close to Lake the trail easy access to pretty much everything. just a few steps from your Campground and lake is right there where you can fish or Swim, if you feel like it. The campground number 10 that we stayed on what's a good size you can fit to 10 person tents if you'd like to and you can fit two cars or trucks in the parking spot. Overall we had a great time and had a blast. The only thing that I would say about the camp is the lack of wood for fire.
