Great swimming and paddling access

We last visited BF during the 1st week of June. The lake water was so high that all of the really nice sandy beaches close by were covered. However. The paddling was fantastic, and the water was plenty warm for swimming. (Way warmer than my pool at home!) There were 5 other family groups spread around the main camping area. All quiet and respectful of one another. I was surprised that the pit toilet was open, as the LBL website had said they were closed. Not only was it open but it was cleaned daily! Lots of folks driving through on their way to the boat ramp. A few gawkers driving about but not nearly as bad as all the golf carts in the big campgrounds! No bugs. Lovely weather. Saw one small water snake. Only issue with this Campground is that lots of people occupy sites during just the day for the swimming. Thus, plan to arrive early or late for the prime waterfront spots.
