Beautiful lake

Beautiful lake for kayaking and fishing, the sites are a little bit tight for larger RVs and the road is rough getting in here but manageable. Neighborhood noise with generators is kind of obnoxious, otherwise I give five stars.

Great spot especially if you’re biking

Beautiful lake! We enjoyed paddle boarding and watching fish jump. Lots of trees to hitch up the hammock, too. Sites were relatively close together. Pit toilets were well maintained. Upper Brewers trail starts at the main parking lot, it’s great biking with beautiful views the entire ride, although very rocky. In July the wild flowers were still blooming strong!

Heaven?

This site might be paradise. Seated high above Sinks Canyon (which also os awesome!) it is nestled along the shores of an alpine lake. Quiet, peaceful, and just breathtaking. Be sure to bring a sturdy car/truck!

Pretty, quiet campground

Peaceful lakeside spot – stayed here for one night while passing through the area. Loved the sunrise over the lake and the privacy of the sites. Quiet place to camp, even though there were a lot of groups there when we arrived, we had no trouble finding a spot. Pit toilet on-site and walking trails around the lake are close by.
