We bought $20 worth of firewood when we arrived and it would not burn at all, because it was too damp. We had to go in town and purchase new firewood as well as dinner because we were unable to cook over the campfire. I was under the impression we could park one vehicle at our campsite and put our extra vehicle in the overflow parking lot however we were told that all vehicles had to be at the overflow parking lot and we were in the farthest corner away from the parking lot. It was very inconvenient to carry so many things for such a large family back-and-forth each time we had to come or go from the campsite. The Camp host was very friendly and gave us information on Fourth of July activities when we arrived. We have always enjoyed camping at Lake Jaeger and we will return.
