There is plenty of room at Campsite for 3 tents and 5 people to comfortably camp. At night the stars were beautiful but it did get very cold. The lake is within walking distance, some sites you can see the lake from. Overall a wonderful trip. Was at site 24

Beautiful campground right next to the lake. We loved all the trees and spacious sites. It was so nice to have so many great water activities within walking distance. We will be back for sure!

Pine Marten campground was great! It was my first time ever camping there. I arrived 9/2/23 around 3am then left 9/3/23 around 10am. It drizzled most of the weekend and was overcast but we managed. There were a lot of RV’s that came. Each campsite is limited to 6 people and two cars or a car towing a trailer. There were sheltered toilets and then water spigots dispersed throughout the campgrounds.... Pine Marten campground was great! It was my first time ever camping there.

Lots of trees were being cut at this time for something but i feel it didn’t affect my experience much because there was still plenty of greenery. The lake is a walking distance away and is beautiful even in overcast weather. I can’t wait to come back with my dogs.

Great Place for Camping, I think I was the only 1 there with a 35 foot class A motor home. Pulled into site #2 fairly easily, may be a little tricky but doable with a 5th wheel. They have bear 🐻 lockers for a reason, use them. There was a bear that came into a tenters camp and messed alot of stuff up from what I heard from the camp host. Lots off space for each site, lots of trees, lot... Great Place for Camping, I think I was the only 1 there with a 35 foot class A motor home.

There was a bear that came into a tenters camp and messed alot of stuff up from what I heard from the camp host. Lots off space for each site, lots of trees, lots of firewood laying all over the place for the taking. Fishing at the lake, was GREAT. I caught 3 smallish Trout, all in about an hour and a half. The camp host couple were very friendly and Helphul. I will be returning.
