Pretty little lake with nice camp spots

Free camping on a lake with tables, fire rings, some have shade, vaulted toilets. Quiet but close to a little town.

Primitive camping

It's very scenic with plenty of shade. The sites are on the west side of the lake. Sites are pull through. Pit toilets but not close to campsites. Serene and peaceful. FREE. I have 4 bars T-Mobile but no OTA tv reception.
