“Lovely, clean, peaceful site, off the beaten track. Walk around lake took about 2 hrs avoiding cattle and cow pats! Beautiful lake with sandy shores. All sites were good sized, large and private ”

Jacqueline G 5 · Aug 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Well worth the drive, 1+hr on Forest Roads. Camp host Linda was amazing and helpful! Flat, spacious spots, #8 has a path leading to the lake. Great fishing, swimmable, homes nearby. Really loved the remoteness of this gem!”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,669 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
