★★★★☆ 4.0 Lillian Madejek · Jul 2025

Quiet little campground. Kind of a ways out there, but not terrible. The lake this is on, heard it was good fishing. Was only able to catch 2-3 little perch, the 4 times we had gone out. Nice sites to set up on. All the sites had a picnic table and fire rings. The camp host Jim was very friendly, would recommend him as a host to any site. Just bring strong bug spray! Would stay again, anytime we’re up this way.!

Nice and quiet, the sites had plenty of room. Many with lake access. Great sunsets coming up over the lake. Vault toilets but kept stocked and clean.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Scott L · Aug 2025

Sites are close together, hand well pump was a chore to get water. Beautiful view and nice breeze off the lake was heaven. Super quiet.

11 miles off the paved road, washboard dirt roads. Go slow and take your time. No electricity or dump stations, one water pump. Remote and beautiful. Not for a fancy RV, or if you want a luxury campground. We loved no cell service, great fishing, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, no artificial lights or noises. The night sky was amazing. Great place to get away from it all. No reservations, and only maybe 15 sites, but if you can nab one, it’s worth the drive.

I want to keep this place a secret, but it's really beautiful. We stayed 2 nights. It's self registration- first come, first serve - $15/night (cash). There were about 12-14 sites total - all on the lake. There is a very nice boat ramp just past the campground turn-in. Absolutely beautiful...easy access to Crisp Point (which is a must-see). The camp host provided maps and local brochures which proved extra helpful with no cell service. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table. There are 2 pit toilets (which are very clean), and a fresh water well pump. No electricity. We will absolutely be back.
