Awesome little campground with 25 spots. We showed up on a Saturday evening and there were like 2 spots, and I dont believe you can reserve in advance (just first come first serve)

Just camped here for 3 nights. A fantastic place to camp. Any site is good here and a few are really nice as they are tucked away with good separation from other sites. Best for tent camping or a small vehicle (small trailer or camper van), which makes it especially nice for not having to camp among hulking noisy super RVs. The best part this year is the host, Marshal! He is the friendliest campground host I've ever encountered. He greets you when you arrive and helps you pick the best or most suitable site that's available. He even likes to get to know you if you want to chat for a while. Marshal keeps the bathrooms very tidy and clean (as best as you can for pit toilets) and makes rounds in the afternoon to deliver purchased wood with a joke and a smile. The water taps are closed down this season, but Marshal to the rescue! When he has time he drives his truck up to Silver Lake to fill a large holding tank he keeps in his truck bed with potable water to share with any camper who needs water. He gave me 6 gallons which is all I needed for my 3 days (I also brought my own drinking water). He isn't required to do this, but wants happy campers. I plan on going back in September I had such a great time. Oh, there are a number of great day hikes directly from the campground. You can even climb Roundtop Pk. which looks more formidable than it really is. There's a worn path (I wouldn't call it a trail) that leaves from Roundtop Lake that leads to the saddle, which itself is a great place to get the same view if you don't want to scramble up the granite to the very top.
