Lake lovers dream

This campsite is perfect for tent campers looking to be close to the lake. Sites are more private that brookchar (next site over) but only have vaulted toilets, no running water in bathrooms. There is designated parking for each spot, but you might have to hike a little ways to your site. Not all spots are level, but the views are great!
