Lost Johnny

Small 5 site campground. Primitive. A couple large potholes in campground road. Only sites 4 and 5 can accommodate larger campers as the road is fairly narrow to allow turning into sites.

Need to reserve, sign is wrong

This sign is deceiving. The campsites are reserved online but posts are not updated with reservation information. Possibly the camp host’s mistake. We picked an empty site and followed the instructions, paid. An hour later a family rolled up and had reservations for that site. Hosts not doing job and first come first serve sign completely wrong. Just a warning for those looking for first come first serve!

The lake is beautiful!

This little area is so beautiful, the reservoir water was so clear! There are a few sites here that are all in a row, decent privacy. The sites are long, but it might be tough to turn around or get into the site if you have a really big rig. There is a sign stating that it’s a dead end with no turn around, but there is an fairly open area at the end that you can use, but there is no loop to drive around, so be cautious of the length of the vehicle. It was a very full campground with long stays reserved at the end of summer.
