This was my first real camping trip and while I am inexperienced it still went pretty well.

I won’t lie and say it wasn’t difficult for my Texas lungs to get used to the altitude but it was easier the longer we stayed.

While our Low clearance vehicle made it… it was not easy in the slightest. You can make it… but you are risking messing up your car and with just there right slip of a rock, very badly damaging something.

The camp sites were nice, well spread out, but trust me when I say there is a right time to show up and a right day. Show up too early and everyone is still sleeping. Show up too late and there are no spots. I will say that just because they only have 20 marked places I noticed if you have a tent on top of your vehicle it’s really okay to camp anywhere as long as finding a place to sleep is all that really matters.

The bathrooms are just portapotties but it’s not the worst thing, they cleaned it on Thursday while I was there.

The only bad thing I have to say is not about the site but about the people that show up with untrained dogs. If you don’t have good control over your dog and it isn’t friendly, leave it home. I was nearly attacked by a dog while out there.

The nights are cool and the days stay warm, if you need to cool down during the day just find some shade, it’s nice and breezy.

There are bugs galore but that is to be expected, just bring some kind of repellent.

If it has been raining and you are not an expert driver, don’t risk that, it’s a long way down.

All in all this place was beautiful and people were mostly very kind. The water was stunning and the fish were plenty. So much so that if you waited until dawn you could see them nonstop jumping out of the water to eat mosquitoes.

I wouldn’t come here if you are looking to swim. It’s very mossy and I have a feeling there are so many fishing lore out there you will likely come out with one in your toe. There are also some creepy crawlers in the water that look like they pinch lol
