First, let's start by saying the campground is amazing, with a lot of trees and a creek bordering one side that you can camp by. The views are breathtaking, but there is a downside. The last 5 miles getting into the campground is really rough. Plan on going about 5 miles per hour or less. If the road was better, you would never get a camping spot. It would just be overcrowded. There are 4 lakes you can hike or ATV (size restrictions) up to, but the trails are VERY ROUGH. If you have littles in a side-by-side, their necks become very tired and helmets bang together most of the time. I was on a 4-wheeler and it gave my (female) arms a solid workout. The lake with the best trail, Big Eightmile, has a no-passing, narrow trail with a sheer cliff on one side, for part of the way. Everson Lake was extremely rocky and really wears you out. Shroud Lake was the most advanced trail, with some steep inclines and boulders to crawl over. It’s been 9 years since I’ve been to Dairy Lake, so I can’t give a fair review. The best parts of the trip were: The lakes are gorgeous and well worth visiting, but again the littles got very impatient and the ride feels like a full-cycle in a clothes dryer. Secondly, Big Eightmile Campground has the best creek ever. Not too deep, so the kids were able to play and run up and down and through the trees. Several pole bridges for them to cross and very narrow. All the kids had a blast at the camp sight. This campground has outhouses, a water pump, picnic tables and fire rings and we had both tents and trailers (on generators) up there. It’s a great campground, but one that would be better to visit for a longer period of time than over a short weekend, for how much work it takes to get there. Bottom line, if you can handle the rough road and rough trails, there is a lot to see.
