North is open, South is closed for Summer 2024

North is open, South is closed for Summer 2024.

It took some digging on this information as the USFS website is wrong.  

I camp here on the South campground at least once every year.  For the 2024 season, they CLOSED it at the last second.  

The North campground is OPEN, but you cannot reserve it.  First Come First Served (FCFS).

Boat ramp is at the North campground, but if you just have a paddleboard or kayak, you can just walk to the water by just waking down the road and launch at the edge of the lake.  

There is a General Store within walking distance and restaurant/bar right on the lake too.  I highly advise reservations for dinner on the deck.
