This camping location was super last minute for us. Our first location was further north and got canceled due to the fires. We came here not knowing what to expect.

SITES▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

We had about 20 people and booked 3 sites online. We booked sites 147, 148, 149. However, these sites are really hilly. It was difficult to find a place for 3 tents. We asked the ranger, a super cool guy, if we could switch sites. He checked in and allowed us to do so. We switched 147 to 146 because it had a great spot for a tent. (See images)

BATHROOMS▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

The biggest reason I gave the stars is because of the bathrooms. The bathrooms are with stalls, flush, have sinks, lights, and are even cleaned everyday! There are several bathrooms located around the campground. You do not have to worry about the restrooms. (See image)

Every campsite has spots dedicated to park next to it. The fire puts are a little close to the table, and the tables are bolted, meaning you cannot move them.

WATER ACCESS▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

This is the biggest reason why I had to take off stars. The water acces was terrible. If you want to swim, you have to take everyone in the car and drive about 5 minutes to the water. I tried to walk to the water, and it took me about 15 minute. However, the walk does get steep sometimes. It is about a 100 foot altitude difference between the campsites and water. The water was super low when we went. We went to the boat ramp and swam there.(See Images)

OTHER NOTES▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

There is a water hose spout located next to the sites. I recommend bringing a hose to attach it to. This was really nice because you can use this water to wash whatever you need because it is right by the site.

Make sure to bring flashlights/lanterns, tarps sor the tents, and sprays for ants. We went at the end of August and did not see mosquitoes.
