Giant Gap

We took our one year old and two dogs here and it was awesome. Close to the water which had a nice beach area. The bathrooms and campsites were very clean and the campground was surrounded by beautiful big trees and greenery. Very peaceful. 
We visited in August so it was a little warm but with the shade from the trees and the lake we were all very comfortable. 

Loved it!

We loved our brief stay at Giant Gap, we were surprised to get availability! We were treated to a site close to the reservoir. No hookups, but spectacular beauty

Be warned though, Google maps will suggest driving up Iowa Hill. DO NOT. Follow the directions of the campground, that road is not for the faint of heart. And NOT for RVs or trailers.

It's a beautiful spot!

Nestled in the forest

We stayed at this campground with another couple and enjoyed our time.  The site was spacious and a short walk to the reservoir and trail.  We hiked around the entire reservoir and it was gorgeous.  It does feel like quite a good distance from the highways and also no stores that we found within a half hour drive, so we felt pretty disconnected (in a good way).
