Awesome place to visit especially if you are set up for boondocking camping. Beautiful area. I didn't fish here, but did watch a number of folks catching their trout here. Beautiful little stream right behind our campsite. We were here in early July and it was quite comfortable temperature wise. Windows open in the evening and blankets by morning. Be sure to bring your camera to photograph all of the beautiful surroundings such as the Palisades. Really nice oasis in a much different surrounding area.

Pulled up to Marverick campground in the evening on a Wednesday, camp hosts were awesome and found us an absolutely beautiful site overlooking the water. Although campsites are close to one another, the views were great and neighbors in the campground were friendly and respectful of noise levels. We didn't fish but watched many people catching some nice sized trout. Bathrooms and common areas were clean. Loved our time there.
