One of my favorite places to camp in the fall. Good fish quiet and peaceful
It poured rain on us almost the entire time we were there - but it was still beautiful! Vault toilets are vault toilets, but they were as clean as they get and well stocked. The camp host actually called me before my stay to make sure I didn't want a site closer to the swimming beach - which is just above and beyond! I definitely felt like the area was well looked after, which was nice when traveling in remote areas with your kiddos.
Stayed last weekend in July. Nice spacious campsites. We camped as a family with 4 adjacent sites that fit 35' RV's just fine. Campground and beach were nice and quiet. Very secluded location with easy access to waterfront. We were a few hundred feet from one of the pit toilets and every once in a while we would get a foul whiff. Also the biting flies were pretty bad while we were there. The mosquitoes were not too bad if you used bug spray, but it didn't seem to bother the flies!
Quiet campground. Beautiful rustic sites (maybe 33 sites?) with access to the lake and lots of trail systems. No electric and rustic bathrooms. Reservation website said everything was booked on Friday evening but when we arrived the host suggested lots of open sites so that was a nice surprise. We saw the Seeyle Campground was posted as closed off except for overflow camping if other campgrounds were filled. There are lots of other campgrounds nearby. Winnie Trading Post does have propane.
Beautiful lake, but upon walking into the water, we were informed by another family camping about having swimmers itch from swimming the day before. We were informed it comes from snails that live in the water, so there's not really much you can do besides not swim.
