Perfect weather weekend

Normally a pretty desolate campground in the off season, there were quite a few more campers than we expected. The site we were in sits below everyone and gives you a little more privacy. With it sitting low, the water does drain and makes a little stream when there's a good storm. There used to be a big stump in the middle of the site and they've removed it. They have also removed a lot of brush in the back of the site giving you way more space for tents. You're surrounded by trees and the hiking trail is behind you. In the winter you can see everyone, but when the leaves are on the trees, you're pretty hidden. There is a trail that leads from your campsite to the trail. We moved some tree limbs at the entrance to keep hikers/bikers from accidently coming into the campsite. In the winter season the only toilets you have are the pit toilets (the flush toilets are closed). Normally they are pretty clean, but this weekend someone broke the windows, left toilet paper everywhere and it didn't look like it has been cleaned... pretty disappointing. It was reported to the state. The dam at the lake is getting fixed so this season the marina and boat dock are closed, but you can still kayak. However, they have dropped the water super low so if you want to put in at the campground you're going to have a very long walk to get to the water (see the photos).
