We really loved it here! This was our second time to the campground. The first time was on a weekend and every single spot was full. This time we arrived on a weekday and it made a world of difference - there were only a few other people around! The campsites were huge (see photo) and there was a lot of privacy between spots. The lake is lovely and there is a rental place that you just have to call and they’ll be there promptly. The bathrooms were also very clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back 

Popular for a reason! 


Wonderful surprise right on the lake. Camp host, 16 great sites situated next to Quartz Lake, with a walking trail down to Little Lost lake which has it's own campground. Lots of dual sites great for those who camp with friends. Only downside was the overnight lot was extremely uneven. $15 a night. Scenic overlook hike 1.7 miles one way for those who want to stretch their legs.

Perfect Spot

Breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding area. The campsite might be basic but it's well worth it. It also has picnic tables, a tiny beach, a beach volleyball court, and a sandpit for the little ones.
