I had the opportunity to stay in this campground when it was nearly empty. I originally made reservations in June and the state park canceled them due to high snow year and the campground wouldn’t be ready. I ended up still coming to the area to find that they were in fact open for first come first served, but not advertised online.

I loved the sites here because they were large, had enough parking and were clean. There is a trail that was originally part of the Winter Olympics that you can hike from the campground. You can also follow another trailer to across the highway and enter the Sugar Pine Point State Park. If you’re looking for sites close to the lake, then this isn’t for you. This campground is surrounded by sweet smelling sugar pines. There is also a creek flowing nearby. I can’t tell you how the campground is when it’s in full swing summer mode and full of people, but I really enjoyed the quiet serene reprieve during a by chance encounter.
