This campground has no showers but there were out houses. Incredible views. I was the only one in the campground. The ranger came and checked on me after the 1st night. She was really nice. Some guys came through on horses and rode them into the lake. That was really cool. Nice quiet spot. Seems safe. No one bothered me.
