Beautiful area and close proximity to city gives this campground the potential to be a great weekend get-away for weekend campers / fishermen. Unfortunately certain, regular-campers to this site who feel they are not required to comply with instruction/requests of the Campground Manager and display blatant disprespect and disregard for the other campers on site have made it my (and 14 other campers) most horrible camping experience in recent memory.

Positives: Beautiful trout lake with good fishing, nice campsites

Negatives: 1)Regular/possibly seasonal campers 24 - 7 barking dogs.
2)Non-compliance to timeframes of running generators.
3)Campground manager unable to enforce restrictions.

last year was over all positive

Positives: good fishing.

Negatives: absolutely filthy though!! Garbage everywhere! was much cleaner last year. grass trimmed and washrooms were clean. not this year. safer to squat in the bush. couldn't believe the amount of garbage in the firepits. noisy too. idiots with stereos. people driving fast through the small park. looking for a new place for rest of this year.
