For your next family outing

A large group of us reserved one of these sites for a big ole campout. Our spot had a shelter with multiple tables, a grill, and a fire pit. We were tucked away and not too close to neighbors. The water was easily accessible from the trail nearby. I definitely recommend this area, especially if you plan on a fun family bbq and camping trip.
