Hidden Gem

This place is fantastic. So many great amenities for campers. It does have a host although we were here in Oct and the host was gone. We had the whole campground to ourselves except for the herd of Mule deer enjoying the grass growing around the camp sites. It has bathrooms, fire pits, barbecues and tables. Some spots have tent pads. The sites are level. There are several water spigots along the road. They have a huge garbage bin and they have a trail that connects to the lake. This place is nestled in the trees right up against the side of a mountain. It is magical! The road in is easy, but there is no cell service at this camp which is okay since there is so much to do and enjoy! ATV riding is endless as is the night sky! Definitely worth a stop and stay if you are looking for an out of the way location in the mountains.
