Unplugged Peace

No water, no power, no problems. Sometimes going back to the basics helps eliminate some of life's problems. Just some primitive camping, tons and tons of space per site, short walk to river, 8 minute drive to Lake, and deer that walk through the campgrounds snacking unafraid. Great 12 site spot.

Cougar Flats

This is a great spot for all. Big enough for families and great for couples or folks with kids. Plenty of outdoor space. Easy walk to the river which is usually much clamer and less busy than the nearby bumping lake. Located about 20 minutes from bumping lake on the same access road, you will fall in love with the quaint personality of this smaller, 10 site camp ground.

Great spot

We stayed here with 2 young kids and it was a great choice.

We didn't have a reservation but we got there early enough on a Sunday we found plenty of open first come spaces were available.

The toilet was clean and we'll maintained.

Site 10 is closest to the river but there are paths from most sites to walk to river access. Plenty of space for a tent and kids to play.

We didn't have a bug problem because it was cool and early enough in the season, but I suspect mosquitoes may be an issue later in the summer.

The campground was only 30% occupied. It was relaxing, quiet, lots of trees, soothing river sounds.

We stayed 1 night, but we will definitely return for a longer stay.
