Beautiful views

Whitestar is a fantastic campground with large sites for RVs and very nice tent pads. We go every year in September and it is gorgeous if you can catch the leaves turning. The campground is walking distance to Twin lakes.

Amazing views and hiking

The campground is very clean and close to Twin Lakes. Sites are not on the water but it’s within walking distance to the rocky beach. There was not running water when we visited but they had a large water tank and we brought bottled. Close to a small camp store and gas station. There is great hiking in the area. We loved to hike on the other side of the lake to the old resort. The star gazing is also great. We would stay here again!

Gorgeous

We were so grateful to find the last site in this campground on a Friday night! Campground is very clean, spacious sites and super clean vault toilets. Some of the sites even have lake views! Next time we will reserve one of those. Paved road in the campground.
