This is a nice little campground a little ways off the beaten path. It offers nice sized camp sites close to the lake. The pit toilets where as to be expected. We got there around noon on Thursday for the 4th of July weekend and they where all full. So make sure to call ahead and make a reservation, or get there early.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Jordan Heinze · Jul 2024

We were there July 2024. Beautiful area, but very hard to get to (10 miles of unpaved road is the only way to get there). Thought this would keep out noisy crowds but multiple gigantic groups of people packed in on Friday night and blasted music until 12:30 am. So, the party people have discovered this lake. Host was nice but did nothing to enforce the quiet hours. I am all for people enjoying themselves, but I also prefer some peace and quiet at some point. If you want quiet camping, this is not the place. Lake levels are so low that there is no good day use swimming access. As of our trip, water had NOT been cleared to drink. So plan on bringing water to drink. That said, we got there on a Tuesday and NO ONE was there. Kid got to scoot around on the nice flat camp road. So that part was

Another beautiful stay at Sunset Point. Fantastic spot. Great beach and close to town. Thanks again to our fantastic hosts, Nadine and Mike!

If you don't want to worry about Karen telling you to keep it down and like a clean camp, this is the place. Inexpensive and very nice sites. It is first come first serve and only $16/night. A fire truck has daily routes to check n make sure fires are attended and if not they will come blast your pit. If you happen to come while the elk are in rut they leave their call and a magnetic pull in your mind to bring you back. Portable water n bathrooms. No showers which I don't mind since I'm in the lake most the day anyhow. The lake is close along with a boat launch. Bass fishing is pretty good along with some huge bluegill. Enjoy.
