Semi rural, modern USFS campground at the end of a gravel road in the middle of "no where". Yes, that would be Arrowhead campground. First time there, and what a surprise. Had the place to ourselves during a mid-week 4 night stay. All the sites have paved pads. Most are fairly deep sites. The only issue is finding one that is level. I still gave it a 5 star rating, as it was very peaceful during our stay. There is a paved bike trail (hilly) / walking trail around the whole campground. It's a 5 minute walk down to the lake where there is a boat launch. The shower building is huge and well kept. Semi heavily wood forest. Dump station as you leave. Other review sites people complain about the gravel road into the park, but it's only gravel the last 1 or so. No big deal...
