Small quiet USFS campground

We stayed here mid-September 2020. This is a smaller facility with just 8 sites. We picked site #17 on a rise at the end of the loop. We chose it as it was close to the clean vault toilet and it had a separate picnic table nearby on a hill. The fee is $24 which is a bit steep but there was no extra fee for a second vehicle in one spot. There were several trails leading down to the lake from our site. The sites were far enough apart to give a sense of privacy. Lake Leo is the last campground in a chain of lakes going east on highway 20. The first two were either closed due to COVID or busy so we were glad Lake Leo was open and uncrowded. There was fresh water, garbage dumpster and a fire ring in addition to the hilltop picnic table. There was no campground host while we were there.
