Fishing trip to Baum Lake

Stayed overnight here during a fishing trip to Baum Lake. The campground was almost empty. Unfortunately, the only other campsite was full of Jackwagons with no regard for other folks. But, their shenanigans did not ruin my trip. The sites are very nice. Level and well maintained. Plenty of trees for shade or hammocking. 5 minute drive to the lake. Super convenient. Camp host was a nice guy who gave me the heads up to pick a site as far as possible from the noisy guests. I'd stay here again.
