Rustic camping on a small quiet lake
This small, rustic campground is a quiet beauty. The road in added to the remote feeling. Most campsites have plenty of private space. Vault toilets are centrally located. In the middle of the week there were still empty sites to choose from. However from looking on Google it seems to be a popular spot so weekends may fill up.
Emily Lake is beautiful. A small, public boat launch right in camp. We would love more hiking trails but we ventured out to see the local sites. This is one to remember for return visits.
