Wonderfully quiet on 4th of July weekend, despite being right next to the highway. Lovely ~1/2 mile hike to the lake.

The campground was very clean and quiet. It was so nice to not have people partying all night long. The one thing we found inconvenient and a deterrent for wanting to come back in the near future is no bear boxes in bear country and we paid $30 per night. We would have expected to pay less per night to have to put dirty coolers in the cab of our truck.
