Paradise Cove

A cool spot - not much shade or varied terrain but excellent access to the lake. Lots of spots. It’s basically just flat and slopes down to the water. Pretty bird noises in the morning. If you’re looking for privacy this probably isn’t the best when it’s crowded. It’s got a hotel and saloon across the street which is great if you’re looking for that!

Closed for winter!

Stayed here for two nights in May. What I loved was being able to drive up literally set up camp right at the lakeside. Fellow campers were really nice, and I had no issues. I packed everything in and packed everything out, so I didn’t use any of the facilities, including the restrooms. Just a note, it can get super windy out there so make sure you have guy lines to tie stuff down. There are plenty of big rocks that help too.

Lake Front Campong

There’s not very much to do at this campsite but still beautiful. With the lake right by all the campsites and the mountains and all the stars at night, it’s amazing. I wish we could’ve gone in the lake but we were all freezing from the wind.
