Awful

I wasn't expecting what I found. The campground was completely empty except for me. It was very dusty and not very appealing. Not to mention the bathroom's were near the boat launch and not in the campground. Not really walkable. Needless to say I left! Since I am a solo woman camper and not wanting to get murdered.

Perfect for a weeknight stop when on the road, bathrooms were clean enough. Quiet on a summer weeknight. Beautiful forest.

Lovely Lake

We were down in Southern Oregon for the Caves.

 We stayed in the Heron loop which was the smallest and most primitive, It was wonderful and we had the whole south of the lake to ourselves. Firewood here is not bundled and since it was off season we got a huge amount for$5. The hosts were terrific. This was a wonderful quiet stay.

 Will always be back.

This year it was pretty spendy for a tent site $24

Pretty area

Lots of lake like activities to do, it’s a popular place for locals in the summer and popular for birthday parties and events. Lake is large and fishing, canoeing are some fun things to do here.
