It was nice to find such a lonely spot so close to the highway. We didn't hear much road noise at all and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Night was cool enough in June. We parked right at the top of the boat ramp. It looks like at one time there was water, but I don't think it's working now. There are picnic tables under awnings scattered around the drive. The reservoir is basically empty, kinda like a marsh now.
