Small rundown cg

This CG is on a long gravel road access and is a sort of rundown place. Many sites are overgrown and not maintained, every picnic table needs painting. One old pit toilet. No cell and lake is just going to be drained in summer. $16/$9 senior, CG host on site and run buy a pvt concession.

Beautiful place and so quiet!

The campground is in a kind of sad shape. Lots of rotting logs and tilted benches. Crowded even on opening weekend. Was windy, 31 degrees overnight in early June. Reservoir fishing was pretty abysmal. Snow still standing in the shade. Very few mosquitoes compared to later in the summer. Good vaulted toilets. No shower. Hand water pump for well water available.
