Annual Visit

By luck we found this site online when looking for campgrounds in the mountains. First year we went in July and the nights were perfectly chilly (dog water had a layer of ice on top by the a.m.). The sun is very warm due to the altitude. Second year we went in August and it was perfect. We stay on the east side where there’s more trees. Lake is always full and perfect for kayaks and SUPs. There is water available near each bathroom but there is no water at the sites themselves. This is now our annual end-of-summer tradition. We’re heading back in August.

My favorite camping spot!

I LOVE camping here! My mom grew up coming here, and so did I. The lake is really cold, but there are people in f Shiny boats, kayaks, and float tubes. The fishing is ok, but there is a boat ramp for loading and unloading boats. I have stayed on the East and West sides, and there are more trees on the east side. The road getting up here from Mountain View is really rough (wash boardy). The loop is dirt road, but it is smooth so you can ride bikes around it!

Serene

We camped in the east side camp ground on the first weekend of June 2015. It was quiet, not too many other campers as this camp ground had just opened for the summer. It was cool and green and define serene! We caught our max on fish every day, and enjoy the hiking trails.
