Highs and Lows
Smaller sized camp ground, about 10 sites. Some sites have direct lake access, others more back into the trees. Camp sites are TIGHT- watched a few RVs and 5th wheels struggle into spots on the one way road. Bathrooms were well maintained. Our big bummer was a hornets nest underneath the provided picnic table. We were there 10 minutes and I was stung through my hoodie. Camp host was pleasant. There is a curfew of sorts where they lock the entrance and exit gates at 8pm/10pm and open again at 8am.
Small but pretty
Not the best campground for RVs but wonderful for tents and small campers. Only about 10 sites that can be reserved online. Right against the lake so great for fishing, canoeing and kayaking. There's a small boat launch and swimming area with no lifeguard on duty. Trees between site, tables and fire rings at each site.
Terrific campground
This campground is available by reservation or walk/drive in. There are only about 10 campsites but a few of them have a terrific set up. This is quiet, small and right on the lake. There are options to hang up your hammock, start a fire using your pit, walk down your private path to the lake and enjoy the weekend. This would be a great spot if you’re not looking to explore but to just relax on the lake. If it’s a rainy day you could drive into wasilla and make a fun day out of it. We ended up driving to the extreme fun center for the kids since it rained all day and had a blast! If you’re looking for more of a group I’d suggest big lakes north or south options.
