Beautiful river flowing into Lake here. Nice beach and quiet in the evening. Only disappointment was garbage left by the pit toilets.
This is not for the inexperienced camper/hiker! My 16 year old daughter and myself booked this CAMPGROUND back in February. I feel like there should be big red letters saying that it is a 2 1/2 mile hike from parking lot to the actual camping site and the trail can be very ruff. We thankfully noticed the Campsite was not a drive up and park one just before we left and we brought a cart. We had a full CAMPGROUND worth of supplies. 4 person tent, air mattresses etc..... bad idea. The sign at the parking lot has a picture of a tent that points down 1 trail heading towards chapel falls.(The other trail that we took back was much easier)It was BRUTAL with all our stuff. We had NO IDEA what we had gotten ourselves into. Lol ! It was dark before we reached chapel rock. We couldn't even find the Campsite until the next day and ended up sleeping on the beach. It is absolutely stunning, but you will work to get there! I now know what "back woods camping " means.
Chapel Beach is by far the best camping spot. Great access to the lake, incredibly beautiful scenery and camp sites nicely dispersed. Campsites 2 & 3 especially nice and great access to the river. Campsite 6 is beyond spacious (pictured). Did not have a communal fire pit, though - so if you are a social camper, there isn't a centralized meeting spot like most of the other backcountry sites.
Had site #5, great spot, nice bench, great tree cover, big level spot, nice and far from neighboring site. Great beach
