Nice spot right near the water

I stayed here in September. One of the only spots to allow campfires. Very windy during the day but calm in the evening. Cleanest toilets I've ever seen at a campground.

Host problems and felt Racially picked on

Nice, beautiful campground, but beware of the host this year. Seems to cater to certain people and race. Try’s to use Authority as a ranger or law then what a camp host actually has. A complaint has been put in concerning all of this. I couldn’t give it more then one star because of this! Please report if you find yourself in the same position, and hopefully you can enjoy Sundew without the hassle.

Awesome Lake and Clean Campground

Bucks lake is our family’s favorite. Lake is big enough for boating and fishing and never seems to be overcrowded. This camp specifically can get busy and is a first come first serve basis so sometimes is tough to find spots. If you can get one right on the lake it’s awesome.

Site has access to a few hiking trails nearby.

Highly recommend!
