What a beautiful hideaway. Nice campground, easy access to an amazing little lake, fishing was excellent. The lake has beautiful little cabins scattered across the banks. It's summer fun at its best. No motorized boats, but canoes and kayaks are welcome. It's about 7000 feet up in the serrias. Very beautiful. Parking is $10. Camping, I believe, was $18. I didn't see any restrooms, dog friendly. I did not see a playground, but the whole area is the playground.

Bathrooms seemed as if the toilets needed to be emptied as well as cleaned. Had to use the bathroom with the door ajar from not being able to breathe from the stench.

Nice little primitive campground. RVs longer than 22 feet is not recommended. The road to get into the campground is a narrow road.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Johan Giroux · Jun 2021

The campground is really nice and right next to the lake. However when we got there, at sundown and sunrise, it was infested by mosquitoes. We had mosquito repellent (natural, without deet) but they didn't care, we literally got attacked by an army of them. By 8:30pm we had to go inside our tent because we couldn't take it anymore, at sunrise, same thing. We decided to cut it short and leave right at 7am. Place is gorgeous, but seriously the mosquitoes were no joke and I'm probably never going back there ever again!

★★★★★ 5.0 Frank Golding · Aug 2025

Great place to camp, quiet and peaceful, and a nice place to take a swim in the lake!
