Campground is normal. The main road to access the lake is good for any vehicle. Once you turn to the small road to access the campground I recommend at a minimum an SUV. The road is rough with one steep and not maintained spot that will likely cause cars to bottom out. The walk to the lake is about 1.1 miles and 600 feet elevation change with a few steep spots. As the pictures show the road down is very rocky and sometimes slide and easy to fall on. The lake is beautiful once your there, but the sides of the canyon are quite steep and there is a limited area that is flat and usable, the rest appeared to be steep and hard to use for setting or laying. I don't recommend small children do the trail unless you are prepared to carry them. I don't recommend for larger kids that are whiny either :). while at the crystal clear lake we saw lots of minnows, crayfish, and a water snake. your allowed to keep 2 trout but can only fish with artificial, no live bait.
