Camping with a view

Great campground, clean, quiet, and well leveled tent pads. Water and vault toilets and garbage bins scattered throughout so each site is close to one. $16 for one vehicle and $5 for an additional. The highlight is the view of the lake. One trail on the north end of the park is about a 1/4 - 1/2 mile long which takes you up the hill across a beautiful meadow then drops you to the lake. The south end of the campground has multiple camp sites that you walk into from the parking area that are with 1/8-1/4 mile that are situated along the ridge and overlooking the lake. Beautiful views!

Great Campsite!

Large and well kept. If your a biker they have places to put your food in the case of a bear sighting. Free fire wood, you need to look for it, great price. Also many deer running around at night and in the morning.
