One of our favorite sites!

One of our favorite places to camp. It is FCFS so we always head up on Thursday afternoon to get a spot! The pups love it here. Site 6 is great because it has its own water access which our dogs loved!!

Loved it

The campsite rental process is ridiculous. There are no online reservations and a total of 7 sites. You MUST occupy the site. No pre-pay will be applied nor pre-registration.

There are no restrooms at the sites. You may drive to a bathroom.

Now, surpass those issues, and the bears and rattlesnakes and hoards of meat bees, lol, and this was the most beautiful site I've ever stayed in.

We slept on a hill overlooking the water. We heard bears fishing and roaring just feet from us. Coyotes visited, raccoons, squirrels and chipmunks and we got to see giant centipedes, wild wolf spiders and several different types of bees. I saw the biggest spider I've ever seen in my sleeping bag.

I caught several 8 to 12 inch trout. We kayaked, and we had a wonderful time.

At night, we enjoyed the noises of wild animals all around. It was fascinating and thrilling, both.

This is definitely a swimming friendly and kayaking-friendly vacation place.
