Nice hidden oasis

Spent Labor Day weekend here. Close to lost lake. A bit tight road around the camp, but I've seen 5th wheelers in there. Clean sites, even some ADA sites. When you see the sign, hang a left or it's 2 more miles before you can turn around with a trailer.

Nice campsite off the beaten path

Really nice campground a short drive from the lake. Site has nice sturdy picnic tables, BBQ stand and fire pit. The bathrooms were nice and clean vault toilets. There are hand pump water stations spread pretty far apart, but there nonetheless.The road and drive spurs are gravel, but nice and not too dusty. People were pretty good about driving slow around the loop which was nice. The camp host is “volunteer” it says on their golf cart, and we never even spoke to them in 3 days. The post on our site didn’t even have our name as the occupant for the weekend, and never even came by and asked us our name. I can see how some people had issues with someone being in the spot that they had paid for and reserved. Just no due diligence from the camp host. We didn’t get a single mosquito bite, and although the sites are close together, it’s not really any closer than most RV parks/campgrounds. We will be back.

Mosquitos and Close Neighbors

Campground is well maintained and provides access to toilets and water (hand pump). Nice fire rings and picnic tables at each site. But the sites are close together and the mosquitos were swarming. The lake is great but it’s a bit of a walk to get there (little less than a mile) and there are dispersed sites all along the lake shore.
