Short Backpacking Hike

I visited this campsite on a Sunday night in September with my dog and it was lovely.  I passed a few day hikers but was the only person camping, however I did speak to a family that was hiking down who said that the campground was completely full the night before (Saturday night).  The trail head is located at the end of a 9 mile road and there are several spots for parking- note: there is no cell service once you get on this road. The hike from the parking lot to the campsite was 1.5 miles and pretty easy. It is mostly flat with a few minor hills (I saw children and elderly folks easily using this trail). The camping area had 6 sites, 2 toilets, and 1 lean-to. There is a platform to pitch a tent (or 2) on and a fire pit with a grill attachment at each campsite. The sites are pretty close to one another but I was alone so I had privacy. The lake is just steps away from the camping sites and is absolutely beautiful. I would stay here again! 

One thing to note: there was very little available firewood near the campsites.
