The campground is small, so there aren't too many people. The dock is right next to the campground for launching boats. The lake is beautiful! The toilets were not very clean, but after we submitted a report, they were leaned pretty quickly.

Decent little pay to camp spot but as a native idahoan we don't pay to camp so we found a sweet little spot across the road naturally. If you have small kids and are looking for a good family weekend in the woods this is an awesome camp ground. The bathrooms could use a little more upkeep tho in my opinion.

Small CG only 11 sites total, 7 sites can be reserved online, 4 are first come/no reserve. Pressurized water in CG, garbage containers, vault toilets, recycle bin for plastic and alum. Has a boat ramp, boat trailer parking and a dock. However, CG was logged thinned recently (last two summers) and large slash piles remain and disturbed soil areas are present..so the 3 stars rating for the visuals...

Some sites are not very attractive. Fees are 15$ for single site, 30$ for double sites, 1/2 price senior discount. Camp host on-site.
