This has always been one of my favorite places to go ever since I was 10 years old. Went here again today with my two kids and they went fishing off the dock. Very well kept, a hidden gem. We couldn't pull our boat up earlier in the day because of all the seaweed unfortunately so we drove down later. Only complaint is the camp ground keepers dog tried viciously attacking my boyfriend. She seems to be spooked by men. It says dogs need to be on a leash but his rome freely and are obviously not completely friendly, although she was very friendly to me and my daughter. She loved my 3 year old daughter! But yeah it was a little worrisome that the dog became vicious and was trying to bite/attack at one point. Besides that, I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
Camped during a warm April weekend. Had the entire place to ourselves overnight, with some day-users fishing off the dock or just making a pit-stop with their boat. We brought a wagon to help carry stuff in/out. In Spring the water level of the lake is pretty low, so the beach was mud, but it's not like we were going to swim anyway. Beautiful morning with mist rising from the water, Canadian geese honking, drinking coffee on the dock. My least favorite part was quite a bit of goose poop all over the grounds. You just kind of get used to it after a while because it's unavoidable.
Really nice park but the hosts are awful. They didn't have any firewood available so we tried to bring some in and they yelled at the person who we had show up, who is just a little old woman by the way and she never said anything to them to prompt the yelling. When she explained why she was there they continued to snap at her even though she was very nice to them. I knocked on the door to the host's camper at one point to ask them a question about when they would get any firewood back and they spoke to me in a very condescending tone, treated me like I was stupid, did not answer my question, just kept pointing at the empty firewood area telling me it was out. If it wasn't for the awful hosts I'd come here more but they were so mean I wouldn't recommend it at this point unless you like being yelled at for just existing.
Hello, my wife and I (Tim and Jan) are the current volunteer hosts (2020). We have been here 3 weeks and have been trying to get the place nice and tidy for visitors.
This is a Bureau of Land Management fee park. This is boat-in or walk-in only... NO VEHICULAR ACCESS. $10.00 per night includes a tent site and/or boat parking at the dock.
There is 2 vault toilets that we strive to keep clean. You can help odor control by keeping toilet lids and doors closed... it really does help!
Also, there is NO trash facilities here. Pack it in, pack it out! Please do not leave your trash behind.
Come on by and check it out. We look forward to seeing you!
This is a good place to go swimming. It is secluded and you may have a walk a little to get here but it normally isn't super crowded. There is sometimes Goose poop that may need to be cleaned up. There is a boat dock so if you have a boat, you can park it to load or unload.
