Beautiful lake

Small campground, only 5 sites. Sites are a bit close and on the small end( except #5). Small swim area where you could put you kayak/SUP in. Vault toilets. The campground is so so. I was there to fish for the weekend, and for that purpose it worked just fine.

Beautiful and secluded campsite right on the water

The sites are a little small but they are right on the water and the area is quite and beautiful. The lake was incredibly smooth and perfect for a kayak/paddle board.  The toilets are vault but there is potable water and a little store up the road that sells firewood and a few snacks/beverages.
