Nice campground on a beautiful lake. No cell service of any kind. Sites are decently spread out. Very remote.

The campsites are a little close together and the lake is more like a muddy pond. Great location though and easy to get to. The trail for hikers goes right thru the campground.

AI Review Summary

This campsite offers a beautiful setting by a fishable lake and well-maintained hiking trails, making it a relaxing spot for nature lovers. However, some campers have reported issues with water availability and seasonal bathroom access, which can be inconvenient. While the sites are generally spread out, some feel they are too close together, and the lake's quality has been described as muddy by a few reviewers. Overall, it provides a peaceful retreat, but potential campers should be aware of its remote location and lack of cell service.
