Mixed hardwoods and pines provide shade across the property, which sits at 932 feet elevation within state forest lands. A carry-in boat launch between sites #4 and #5 gives paddlers direct lake access, and a lakeside stairway on the south end reaches the water for swimming and fishing. The Lost Tamarack Pathway starts at the campground and loops 4.67 miles through surrounding forest. Sites are well-spaced and shaded, with most offering either lakefront or near-lakefront positioning.
