I love the NF campgrounds. My choice always.  But it depends on where they are.  This was a family outing campground close to a town. Multiple cars, trucks, and campers in spots. Only 4-5 sites by the lake and all the noise from there made me glad I was back in the woods. Like some campgrounds close to a town , its a few days where people have their own lakefront. Smoke also filled the air, but that is true of most state parks and forest campgrounds.  This is FCFS sites, so midweek is best and then move on before the weekend. Site on the lake are WAY to close. All dirt and eroded shoreline.  

On the other hand for $7 a night (with Golden Eagle Pass) and a boat you would be all set for a week of great fishing.
