Nice little spot

Camped here a couple of times, small lake that in the heat of summer has bad algea bloom. Use to have drag boat races here not sure if they do any more. I will visit it again.

Sad

Spots make no sense. Not someplace to bring a large camper. Bathrooms nasty with very rude campers. Go 15 min west to Cheney
