They cut back tons of trees. No boat launch. Swimming and access to the lake is great. Somewhat expensive. All new gravel, benches, etc. There are no flat spots for tents yet; bring a metal rake if you want to do that! Sites are pretty close together. It will take a few years before the tree canopy is back and there’s more shade, but that means less bugs than other campgrounds nearby. Still looks... They cut back tons of trees. No boat launch.

Still looks like there is stuff in progress so I remain hopeful!

Awesome spot with, far out from the city and no neighbors! This company( scenic canyons) commonly sells the trees at their spots so it is recently treed. Fly fishing only at the lake BUT,you can have campfires well into the burn ban because there is a camp host and it's an improved campground. So it's well worth the 30bucks 2 have a campfire, weather permitting. Not sure what these people are talk... Awesome spot with, far out from the city and no neighbors!

No weird neighbors creeping on campers. I wish they were more specific with their very odd comments.

Small campground that fills up but worth the drive. Its down a long narrow dirt road with a nice cold clean lake at the end. Bug spray of course is a good idea.
