Peaceful and beautiful
We stayed as a larger group on a non-electric site. The sites were sort of close together but the trees still helped provide a sense of privacy. There were clean bathrooms with running water a short walk away, didn’t attempt to use the showers. We could easily walk to the trails and we went fishing in the lake. It was mild and quiet the days we went in Mid-May 2020. 🙂 Beautiful scenery.
Good, wooded sites
We stayed 2 nights at site 6 in May. It was a roomy, wooded site with water and electric for $22/night. Unfortunately, there was SO MUCH poison ivy that we couldn't play in the woods. But we enjoyed our stay on the beautiful lake! Decent bathrooms and playground but not great. The shower never did get hot, only luke warm. 😬 Maybe we should have trekked over to the non electric loop where the nicer looking bathroom was. Nice little trail to walk the lake. Beach was closed at the time, wish we could have gone! Kayak rental. 45 minutes to Garden of the Gods, 30 minutes to Jackson Falls area, both of which were amazing.

Nice family campground
This is a great spot for families. The sites are pretty close together,but still offer some privacy. They have electric sites for $22 and primitive for $12. Very difficult to get an electric site in the summer, especially on weekends.
