Excellent campground that is well kept. Sites were clean, bathrooms were cleaned, stocked and even lit at night view small solar motion lights! Of particular note, the bugs were much lighter than expected, definitely less mosquitos than we were figuring would be there during the wet year we've had! 😊

★★★★★ 5.0 Karen Knoke · Jul 2021

Very clean campground and the hosts are very nice! Sites are spaced out so you’re not right next to your neighborhood which we appreciated. Most sites also have a personal trail to the lake. They also have a boat dock to the beautiful lake, we went paddle boarding there and had a great time. The campground itself was a bit out of the way down a gravel road which was a nice getaway from busy life. Definitely would visit again.

Far off of the pavement, a wonderful secluded little camp area. No power or running water but there is a well with a hand pump and the water from it was good. Really recharged my inner self while here. Worth the 12 hour drive to get here. Fishing wasnt good but met a guy who pulled a 3 1/2 lb pike. Nights are super quiet. Facilities are kept clean and neat.

Lovely, out of the way campground we happened to come across. The entire campground nicely maintained, and must be the cleanest vault toilets we've ever experienced. Peaceful and quiet, no highway traffic noise. Nice having camp hosts onsite. Excellent boat launch area and parking. The lake is beautiful. Clear and icy cold drinking water via faucet...no hand pumping! Some campsites reservable, while others first-come, first-served.

Nice wooded sites on or near birch lake. Pit toilets were extremely clean without a smell. Very quiet. There are bears in the area so make sure all your food is in your car if you are sleeping in a tent. Don’t leave any food unsecured in your site. Hosts were very nice and had good tips on places to see.
