First overnight camping experience and really enjoyed it. Our campsite was not too far away from the parking lot, so that was cool. If you do not have the state park pass associated with your vehicle registration, parking is $10 cash in a drop box. Great trials to hike, definitely looking forward to many more trips out here! ⛺

This is THE most beautiful campground I’ve ever seen in my life! The campsite we had was along the water, nestled between some boulders, with trees all around us was stunning to say the least! My only complaint/gripe about this experience was that the hike from our car to the actual campsite was LONGGGGGG. I’d say about .8mi-1mi of pure hiking up and down large hills/mountains, going over rocks, winding steep paths. Reallyyyy difficult to bring alot of stuff with you to the campsite. Met multiple people who turned around and abondoned their reservation just because the hike to the campsite was too long. This campsite is called “Backcountry Walk-in” and it’s very literal in that you really are taking the BACKCOUNTRY just to get to your site. Just push through and it will all be worth it in

Beautiful views. If you have a site with water access, that will be the best way in.

We’ve been here 3 or 4 times over the last years. Got to say the service is under zero points at this point. Our friends didn’t get a ride over the lake which you need to get your gear to the camp site because it’s Friday and he guy from the marina didn’t wanna do it. Some other folks I hear just left and rented a hotel because they could not find their camp site. All the campsites have new numbers so if you think you booked the sites next to each other think again. Maps are outdated with the updated sites not outlined. My friend didn’t know where to paddle with the boats because numbers not given. If you don’t want to run a camp site just leave it to others that are more motivated to do the job. Won’t be back.

Absolutely beautiful, but yes, you do have to backpack everything in. The parking lot is at least a half mile away.
