Tucked away

Ok campsites nestled against a large beautiful fishable lake. Hiking trails well taken care of. However, stated there was water when there was not(both water sources produced no water for me) and the bathrooms are seasonal (I did not have access to them)

Pretty Campground

Nice campground on a beautiful lake. No cell service of any kind. Sites are decently spread out. Very remote.

A little small

The campsites are a little close together and the lake is more like a muddy pond. Great location though and easy to get to. The trail for hikers goes right thru the campground.

Relaxing

If you are looking for a relaxing campground with a lake and hiking, this is your campground. There are all kids of hiking trails and a small lake for fishing only. All in all it was a very relaxing campground. Nice and quiet to relax.

Very private

This small lake has a nice trail around it but the camping vibe had a big loner component to it. As a single female alone I chose not camp here as it just seemed a little too quiet and secluded. There were campers but they seemed more like hermits. This may. It be the same depending on who is camping there.
