What campers say

Tannery Gulch Campground is a wooded, quiet site with shaded campsites within easy walking distance of the lake. The host and grounds are consistently described as friendly and well maintained. Bathrooms are available (a mix of flush and vault toilets), but there are no on-site showers — coin-op showers are about five miles away. The lake level is often low, limiting swimming at times. Sites close to the water are generally preferred, though roadways can be narrow. Expect wildlife such as deer and small mammals and use on-site bear boxes; occasional large-predator sightings have been reported, so exercise caution.
