This place is the bomb! At least, it was during my October visit. No fires allowed due to dry conditions, but not a biggie for me. Grouse are plentiful, and I had a bonus with some absolutely amazing northern lights. Also saw a cub running across the road about a mile west. You will be covered in dust as the road in/out is very dry and clouds of dust get you and any possessions covered in dust in short order.

It's a very nice small campground. When we were there it was in winter mode, so no water or garbage pick up. The real boat landing is about a quarter of a mile away, but you can land a canoe or kayak or a boat with no trailer at the campground. It was mainly grouse hunters when we were there and grouse were abundant. Because it was winter mode there was no fee. Unfortunately, one camper had his camper in one site and his truck in another to save it for someone. It was there for two days while we were there before the other party showed up.

$12/night is very cheap. Vault toilet, solar powered pump for drinking water, and trash collection. Only drawback is the flies! They will keep you prisoner in your own tent!

★★★★★ 5.0 William Whaley · Jul 2025

Great get-a-way . Nice lake to canoe around on. Outhouses were clean. Nice camp sites. About half the sites have a really nice view of the lake. Good Well water. Boat launch is nothing fancy but worked fine for our canoe. Not to far from town ,but it's a very small town with one gas pump that looks like it's been there since the 70s. Pretty nice little store where the gas pump is. The local resort let us use their swim beach They also have a restaurant and small shop that sells cold drinks.
