The hosts take great care to keep the area clean, especially the pit toilets. The lake is beautiful and several spots in Loop A have a great view with the boat launch across the entrance road. Best days to get a spot are Sunday through Tuesday. 16 day limit.

Excellent access to the lake and VERY well-maintained. I dry camped, but it DOES look like there are hookups available at some sites for electric & sewer. Good tree cover- great for shade, less so for solar panels.

Nice boat ramp right by the campground.
The $17 is the full price. Senior pass is 1/2 that.

This is a very well maintained campground. The spaces are well apart the openness of the lodgepole pines doesn't provide for much privacy. People seem very respectful of others. Generator use seems to be at a minimum. I have 2 - 100W solar panels and the canopy makes it a challenge to stay fully charged but it is workable. The nearby lake helps it to remain cool. I would return here. The rate mentioned is with a senior pass.

I liked this one a lot and wish I’d stayed longer. The sites feel private and the air is fresh. Wish there was a trail for walking around the lake, but this site seemed preferable to the other lakeside campground, especially in the summer heat.

I scouted this campground while I was in the area, but decided not to stay. It is located in lodgepole pine forest by Georgetown Lake, with a boat ramp right at beginning of campground. There are 3 loops. The roads and pads are paved. A few sites have partial view of the lake but most do not have any view. The pines with open understory are nice, but might make it hard for solar. There is water, vault toilets, and trash receptacles. It had a pleasant feel. Early afternoon on Monday there were plenty of sites available. A nice campground if you want to be near the lake.

On Georgetown Lake with a boat launch, fishing and wildlife. Most campsites are shaded by tall lodgepole pine trees. Vault toilets are available and drinking water is from hand pumps. Not so good for filling your RV tanks, but doable. Most sites fit larger RV's, but bring them already filled with fresh water from outside the park. Dump is available in Phillipsburg ($?) or Anaconda ($free). Weekend was busy but reasonably quiet. Weekdays it was almost empty.
They accept Senior America Pass (Discounted Daily Rate $7.50)

We didn't camp here but did scout it out. Sites are all situated in heavy tree cover. Paved pads many of which were big enough for our 40' motorhome. Verizon coverage was 4G with good but somewhat inconsistent speeds.
