Heaven sent

I arrived at this campground on top the Mesa. First I always thought the Mesa would be flat and by god it’s more than flat, it’s beautiful. The mosquitos were like mini vampires. Beside that, the Forrest and lakes were wonderful. The fishing was great. Lots of folks catching there limits.

The campsites are hit or miss if you are tent camping. Some of them are on slopes and are only good for an RV however we did sent you tents in the pull through sites. We reserved sites 1, 9, 10, 11.

Site 1 is fabulous, on the lake and great for tents or a pop up.

Site 9 is a pull through site. Has one flat spot for a tent but besides that it is next to the hiking trail and the wildlife is all around. Morning deer to chipmunks :)

Site 10 is very large for a group site per say.

Site 11 was nice and held 3 tents.

Each site has modern camp fire rings. The campground offers large wood bundles for $10.

Fun and fishing

We loved this campground.  The host welcomed us immediately with a fishing report - there were a LOT of trout in the lake.  

CG is nicely wooded, quiet and sites spaced nicely apart.  There are great hiking trails from lake to lake in the area.  Visitor center is on the opposite shore from the CG but was closed due to Corona virus.

Very quiet

This was a quiet spot that we enjoyed. There weren't any ATV's allowed so that really helped this spot stay quiet. Some of the other campgrounds do allow them and they buzz through the campground all night, not this one. There is a nice lake that you can fish on and the visitors center is just on the side of the lake. There were quite a few sites but we were tucked back a little. Cows frequented, I think we woke up to them just on the other side of the road in the campground. With the visitors center real close, there are flush toilets with in a near walking distance, otherwise there are pit toilets available as well. There are many trails that are around the area. There are also moose sometimes, although we haven't seen any. It can get chilly at night sitting at a higher altitude but with some proper attire, it is totally worth it. There was a picnic table and firering available.
