Quiet and quaint campground. The handicap accessible fishing pier is awesome. Plenty of mosquitos to keep everyone away except only the serious campers and fishermen. Outdoor toilets are very well maintained and the well water is very good.

Nice quiet campground. There are now only 7 sites. The reason 4 stars is you can not kayak to your site except for #4 and #5 share a boat launch. All other sites must stay at boat launch.

A lightly-used gem of a campground just a short drive from Marenisco. Most sites offer nice views from the peak of a ridge looking down at the lake. A boat landing and fishing pier are a short walk from the campsites.

Bring your own potable water - at this time the pump is not available. Remote and quiet (only 1 other group was there), trees between the campsites, very clean, nicest pit toilets ever! Easy forest road access!
