Beautiful experience with our family. Loved the trails!! Never been to a campground with clean vault toilets. Was very impressed. Definitely pack your food into your car at night. We had lots of forest friends visit us!! Clean water and wonderful memories were created 🤍

Absolutely beautiful and worth the drive. Remote but you will have others around. There at 2 camp spots on lake with access. 12 total spots and a day use area. Definitely bring something to float on the lake with. No biting bugs when we were here this weekend 7/9/20-7/11/20. $10 to camp no host, no garbage cans, no water.

Great remote campground. Beautiful scenery. Basic vault toilet, no running water or power. 12 sites, fairly spread apart. Great swimming or paddling (no power vehicles on the lake).

Beautiful spot. Semi primitive as far as camping goes; vault toilet, no water, flying/biting critters, but the lake water is super clear and clean. Great fishing and swimming. No motorized watercraft allowed. First come first serve sites and fairly remote.
