Gorgeous Views with Good Vibes
Camped at site 7, which situated in a little cove and has a beachy area for playing in the water or launching water craft (We took our inflatable kayak). Trail was well maintained as well as the campsites. Some garbage and lost items in the area though. Biggest complaint is that we found a lot of small pieces of broken glass and melted aluminum in the beachy area, so be sure to wear water shoes! Would definitely come back as they site was so lovely.
Gorgeous Views and multiple sites
One of the best campgrounds. About a half a mile walk from the Forest road. The small peninsula extends into Timothy Lake and is home to multiple campsites. The main one is named Meditation Camp and has the best combination of views, tent spots, and water access. Each of the six to nine campsites on the peninsula have a established fire ring and wooden table.
Dispersed, but not abundant
After I was recommended to come here by a few friends, I made the trek.
It is a beautiful site, primitive, and not a lot of space.
We decided to camp along the fire road before you get here. This turned out to be an amazing site, lots of space and a natural fire ring.
We fished, grilled up our fresh fish and swam until we were all cooked.
I brought my kayak and ended up trolling of that to make my catch.
Warning: there were a ton of bees. Mostly hidden in the ground, so just be super care... I think my sister and I each got 5 stings.
