l backpacked to this campground with 4 teens and 2 millennial’s with minimal experience. It went great. The Boys loved swimming in the lake and the adults took a hike to Palmateer Peak (highly suggested). The only cons are the mosquitos and amount of people camping at the lake. I would highly suggest this for beginners, families, and a day hike.

We stayed at the campground in July and discovered quite a bit of street noise. Also, our site did not have enough trees for a hammock. I gave it two stars due to the great beach in walking distance. Really smooth sand, minimal wind, and great tide pools.
