Weekend Trip to The Trout Lake Campground

I stayed at the Deluxe campsite. What a beautiful site. Right on the water plenty of room for multiple tents if needed I personally car camped out of my four runner and had enough room where I could get right down to the water and still had plenty of room for a fire if I wanted too. I would highly recommend this campsite and I know I will be back in the future..
