Nice campground, pretty views from the water access sites. Vault toilets and water source but no showers on site. Fortunately you can use a coin operated shower at Mondeaux Dam Lodge. Dog friendly, did not notice any playgrounds each spot has a picnic table and a fire pit. The ground was on the rough side for tenting but overall a good experience.

This is a great place to camp with lots of hiking trails. There are many campsites with direct access to the lake. It is also a clean and we'll kept campground. When we were there the lake water was very clear and the fall colors were just gorgeous.

Bathrooms were under construction eventhough the site said they were open. The rec area has clearly not been up kept in awhile. The beach has been taken over by weeds. The campsite we stayed at had lake access but way too weedy for a boat so couldn't use it.

Well-kept campground with stellar views of the flowage. Water is always available just a couple hundred yards down the road at the glacial spring, though there’s a hand pump within the campground as well. A handful of campsites have their own small docks on the water.
