15 campsites, can be noisy when full. About 5 sites on lake. Cool bird rookery just offshore.

Would highly recommend to friends. Beautiful surroundings by the lake. Enjoyed it very much- camping spots were not too close together & camp host very friendly.

Back Country. Few people. Seen Alaskan state trooper in a un marked Truck. Lots of Hiking and Boating. The Dragon Fly Size mosquito are no joke. Preparing for them is best not something you should get
