Secluded with Trees

Nothing fancy here, but it has hidden gems. Restroom with sink, the lake you can walk around, clean sites with lots of room and shade. Not reservable. On the back side and at the entrance of the campground there are trails you can hike to waterfalls. They are gorgeous and worth the drive.

Cool Spot With Water Views

Got in Saturday and got the second to last spot facing the water at around 4pm. Had to travel 18 miles on gravel one lane roads to get there. Sites are fairly close together for water views and access to the bathrooms. Some sites are more secluded than others with several staying open till 7pm. Water is not very clear in the lake but seemed ok for fishing not that I tried.

Beautiful little site

The marked camping spaces are huge with a lot of space between you and the next closest site. Amazing views across the water. We only stayed for a bit but plan on going back for an extension stay!

Natural sites, and hiking!

Stayed here in the off season, and it was beautiful amd quiet. Also there are flush toilets and fire pits. No running water though, so bring your own. Nice fishing right from the campsites. And the short hike to Hemlock Falls is beautiful and worth it.
