Awsome out of the way spot

Very nice spots, it is a cove off of the main lake nestled way back of the main, very dusty dirt road getting here but very nice spots. I go back every year.

Beautiful - WiFi is my Starlink

Great place to camp. Well worth $12 per night. Shady sites, fire rings, covered picnic tables. We didn’t fish so can’t speak to that. Easy to reserve on Reservation.gov. We will be back.

Separated RV stalls with covered concrete padio

One of the nicer lakes I’ve been to, and cheap, the road is a little rough, but it’s a neat place. Boat dock is very steep, small boats only. Pay online is very easy. Shorter RV trailers are preferred. 30 amp service.
