Great camping
Lots of sites close to lake. Camp host is nice also.
Perfect getaway. Woods, hikes, and water
Lots of caterpillars!!!!! Water is fairly dirty near the shore as there are cows roaming near-by
Quite a trip to get here
It is a nice place and there is a lot to do if you have a boat. There isn’t anything around so take what you need and just enjoy the simple life while you’re there. The road is dirt for some 10 miles to get you there, and it was washboard at times. The campground is clean and the hosts are really nice. We went when the caterpillars were hatching so they were everywhere but it wasn’t a big deal. We had a really quiet spot. All sites were big.
