My family loves this campground! We have such a pleasant time every time we stay here. There's only a few sites with shade. It is primitive so they say there's no running water and only bucket/vault toilets. They actually do have some running water in two areas. The bathrooms are to be expected from vault toilets. They don't smell as bad as you would think but the flies are horrendous. They're especially bad at night cause they attack all light sources. I found out the hard way not to wear a head lamp going to the bathroom at night. Lol If you leave the bathroom doors cracked the fly issue is 90% better. I feel like they should drop the price down to 10$ a night maybe 12$... overall it's a beautiful diamond in the rough. The stars you see at night there are stunning.

Very nice spot. LOTS of sweet Blackberries to eat/pick(watch out for the throns)! Staff are friendly & VERY helpful. Camping spots are nice. Went with primitive camping.( Note: they charge you $6 to take a shower). Nice lake for swimming/canoeing/boating. Primitive camp sites don't have any lights in the bathroom or around the building of the bathroom. Staff check on you by driving by. Check out is at 11am.

Even though the grounds are closed off for camping, you can sometimes find a spot to park and just walk the area.
It was a nice evening walk with the dogs 🐕🐕 .

I love this campground. At night there is no light so you can see the milky way easily. The vault toilets are clean and not an outhouse smell. Choose your site correctly, some have shade, some not. At night it is so loud with the frogs and bugs serenading everyone - great white noise. The sites are very large and a lot of blackberries to eat. The generators are turned off at 10 pm but usually generators are on the non-primative side campground. The views are beautiful from the lake and hills surrounding it. There are motorboats on the lake. The swim area is currently closed. But, a great price at $14/nt.
