Beautiful Lake, OHV friendly

We just got back from staying at Findley Campground at Jackson Meadows Reservoir. We've been to other campgrounds there but this was our first time at Findley. We had site 6, which is a pull thru site and is at the far end of the campground. It's incredibly quiet being at that end which is great. But the pull thru is not structured great as it dips down and back up so it was a difficult spot to get level. Plus, the site itself is down some stairs so it's not right at your trailer entrance if you have one. There is a great flat spot for a tent though. The in-laws were at site 8, which is a back in site, and it was much more level and a better spot IMO. Findley is also a ways from the water. We did walk down and back but the walk back up is a little rough and wouldn't recommend for someone with mobility issues. But the reservoir was beautiful as always, choppy, but great for boating and paddleboarding. And as usual, there were tons of people on dirt bikes, side by sides, if you're an OHV fan Jackson Meadows is the place for you, but if not, beware that it does create a lot of noise so know where you're going beforehand! Dump station is at the beginning of the main entrances and it's $20 to dump which seemed extreme to me.
