The Setup

Pull-through and back-in options exist; last 2-3 miles are gravel and washboard; internal roads are rough—drive slow. Most sites are level, though a few may need leveling blocks; bear boxes and dirt/gravel terrain define the layout.

The Vibe

Forest basecamp with lake access and spacious sites; functional and convenient, not a wilderness retreat.
