Tent campers and small-rig paddlers who fish or swim will get the most out of this place. The dock and boat launch are right there, summer highs stay in the 60s and 70s, and the site count is small enough that it never feels like a campground circus. Bring a water filter; there's

Summer brings the most reliable conditions, with daytime highs in the mid-60s to mid-70s and cool nights dipping into the mid-40s to mid-50s. Long daylight hours and generally dry weather make it ideal for swimming, boating from the campground dock, and shoreline fishing. Weekends fill more quickly, but the small site count keeps crowds light. Winter closes the campground when roads go unplowed. Spring brings wildflowers and migrating birds, though conditions can be muddy. Autumn paints the forest in reds and golds, with cooler temperatures and fewer visitors.
Summer is most favorable; long days, reliable conditions and many positive summer reviews.
