Swimming beach and small boat launch. Several campsites with water access and a bunch more further from the water. 2 vault outhouses that may or may not have tp so bring your own. Beautiful views of the lake. If camping over the weekend expect loud and obnoxious people fighting and playing loud music late into the night on the docks. Don't use Google Maps directions to get there, it is wrong. Follow the signs for gold bar lodge then it's a straight shot. Lots of off road vehicles play in that area so stay on your side of the road. Easiest way to get there is by boat but dock is often full on the weekend.

This used to be a great place to camp, but when the docks were all redone, the boaters took over the area. It is a long ways to drive, and you are not guaranteed a spot. Often a party place for boaters to anchor in the beach.

It is great for camping as long as you don't mind dealing with boaters that are super loud all night. We used to love going there when no one really went. Last few times it has been packed. Some jerks left all of the trash by the bathrooms as if there is a garbage service there. Pack in your own water. Beautiful spot though. Drive there is rough.

The road in is not very friendly. No potable water. Bathrooms can get pretty bad lol. Boat ramp is very steep and primitive.However it is beautiful and peaceful. Fairly nice dock. 8 campsites that I found. They go quick....

Questions & Answers

Is the road access paved to the camping location? If not how "rough" is it? Can a standard sedan with low-ish ground clearance easily reach this location?

It is not paved, probably 20 miles off pavement. The road is not very rough if you come from Clark Fork (north of the campground). Coming from the south is a lot rougher. I drive a Ford Mustang, and I was able to drive the section between Clark Fork and the campground just fine (coming from the south is much more stressful, but do-able as well). Hope this helps!

Don't waste your time, you need to get out on the lake.

I was thinking this would be a good spot for the family on our big adventure. Pop up tent trailer is 24 feet when its up. 19 when in motion. Is the road too rough? We have two kids from 6 and 2 too. Thoughts or recommendations on the lake?

It is a ruff single lane road but doable for an experienced driver. It is a beautiful place to camp!!

Is it possible to get a trailer to this campground or is it tent only?

I go in on bunco road by silverwood, it's a dirt road and kinda rough so make sure you have good tires ,but yes you can bring a trailer in.

There is a primitive boat launch... dirt. It has a bit of a pitch as you go into the water and good chance you would drag your trailer going in and out especially on a ski boat. The drive into whiskey Rock is close to 30 miles and it can be rough.. I launch a jet boat with an off-road trailer but would definitely use caution with any other type of boat or trailer. I think if I had a nice ski boat I would launch it in Bayview and just boat across the lake.

Are the sites suitable for a 27’ RV?
