Camped June 26-30, 2022 Sunday through Friday. Lots of mosquitoes and flies but overall, very quiet and secluded campground in bear country. Besides squirrels, birds, and ants - just a deer and no bear encounters. The best site would be 5 and the worst are 2 and 3.

Site 1: By vault toilet, best shade

Site 2: No shade

Site 3: No shade

Site 4: Water access, no shade

Site 5: Water access, great shade

Had the whole site pretty much to ourselves except day of arrival and day of leaving. Very well maintained roads and sites. The couple volunteers came every other day and were extremely friendly and warned us of possible bear encounters (though not a single bear showed up).

There's a trailhead at the end of the NF road up north which you can drive up to. Also, this area had been engulfed with wildfire back in 2021 so it's still recovering from that. You will pass along a graveyard of trees (which made me sad).

Pack in, pack out. No garbage disposal. Town of Winthrop is only a couple minutes away. There is no service at this site. Fee is $10 per day, first come-first served. On the rare occasion campground is full, many disperse sites are along the road. Have fun!

Camped here on August 28-30, 2020 on warm sunny days with my boyfriend. The campground is well-spaced between each other allowing for privacy. Our campsite was number 7 and it can fit about 3-5 tents in it which is pretty big for a campsite. I loved it. There is plenty of mosquitoes so be prepared with your repellents. Also, on our first night, a bear passed by one of our neighbor's site so make sure you clean up after yourselves and don't leave food out at night. There is also a bear cage with a trap since the bear seems to linger and wander around (although it isn't aggressive and seems friendly). There is no water and the toilet is a honey bucket. This campground needs some extra maintenance because the porta potties needed to be serviced as it was getting quite full during our stay. The lake is walking distance and provides plenty of space for everyone to splish and splash around although the water is quite cold but wonderful. There is a day use area too for picknicking and the likes. We went on a first-come first-served basis on a friday morning and there was plenty of spots to choose from, but come night time and the lot was full. There is also about 2-4 two-family campsites that can fit about 4 vehicles in and is ideal for groups and is located along the entrance of the campground. The mini grocery store is located about less than half a mile if you are needing supplies such as ice or firewood. However, be wary if there is a burn ban. Overall, great place with no reception except out on the lake.
