A great camping spot, wonderful hiking trails and swimming
stayed for 2 nights and had a great time. when we showed up all the sites were reserved but the camp manager said we could stay in a site as long as we left before the reservation date. it's 27$ a night and the sign said they sell firewood. there was about 20 or more sites and only two other people camping at the beginning of the loop. we chose a site towards the back and had a restroom all to ourselves.
Beautiful little lake that is connected to 4 lakes. Had some good bites fishing from my kayak, got a tiger trout up to the side and it flipped off! Low bank access and a nice boat launch and swim area.
We had the most amazing time! I would recommend it for sure. Walks, fishing, swimming, a place to rent paddle boards, canoes, etc. On top of that the management team was so friendly, always wave hello, was never to busy to say a quick hi and talk for a min or answer questions. The campers the 9 days we were there changed a couple times but everyone was really nice and respectful. Very safe feeling and extremely welcoming. We had camp sight 4 which was perfect for us. I took some pics of the camp sight as well while I was there.
