Beautiful spot feels like dispersed camping

We ventured up to Rock Lake campground with our 25’ RV in late September, not sure what to expect. Turns out there are only two primitive sites, fairly well separated from each other. The upper one on the left has an outhouse and several picnic tables. The lower one on the right has none of that, but has lakefront access instead. We only stayed here for a night, but it was my favorite campsite on our trip. The setting is beautiful, and while feeling remote there still is cell coverage.

Slice of heaven

If it has been or is going to rain - I would recommend 4 wheel drive. There are only two official spots - right above the lake. One pit toilet. No running water. Regardless - it was so peaceful and quiet we stayed 3 nights. 2 other lakes are the perfect short bike ride away - long lake and timber lake.
