ScoutQuiet and Minimal
There are 6 sites in a small horseshoe campground with one handicapped site. First come, first serve. No camp host. The lodge store is only 1 mile up from the campground. 2 latrine style, but very private toilets. No electric or water hook ups. This site is for people who want to rough it a little. Directly across is access to the lake. Each site has a table, fire pit, and b-b-q., and trash bins. There are also 2 tables, fire pits, and b-b-q's. I've camped here for years. It's relaxing and the scenery is amazing.
RangerAccess to Fishing dock and picnic area
These site are fairly shady and private, covered by trees and foliage. The sites at this campground are large enough for an RV or tent. The sites are set up in a grid and if you are further up on the hill you will need to walk a bit through the pathways/camps to get to the restrooms.
There is acess right across the street to a fishing dock and a few picnic tables for a small family event or outing. If you looking for something extra to do, try driving up the road to the Loon Lake resort and restaurant for a bite to eat. We did not go swimming near this site, but if you were to look around there is a flowing river along the road and walk-in area near the Loon Lake resort that you may be able to sneak into.
There is a site with ADA access. All sites are $15/camping and $5/day use vehicle.
