So so

Week night so not another soul around but the sites are tight! If there were other campers I don’t think it would be enjoyable at all. They were working on the bathrooms and they are working on the lake. It was totally dry!

Nice camp

Nice campground. If full the sites would be a little tight, but the night we came in late October it was pretty much empty. Clean campground, clean bathrooms (no showers) and a nice lake. Sites do not have any utilities, but there is water available and a dump station. We are just passing through on a cross country trip, but would stay here again and wish there were more like this on our trip. At $12 a night it is hard to beat.
