GuideCool campground on the ridge
This is a great campground that runs along the ridge above Lake Hope. Tons of great spots. Not a lot of privacy, but still great. Good hiking all around and the lake is beautiful.
GuideCrusty and smelly
Look, just go find some dispersed places out in the national forest instead of ending up here. The campsites are usually littered with trash and the latrines smell for a good distance - you'd be better off digging a hole.
GuideSloped sites
Enjoyed the campground, but the sites were very sloped and the rv sites were pretty close together. We stayed at one of the more spread out sites. I’d go again, but they should maybe make some tent pads for the tent sites.
