Super Pleasant!

Pulled into a site right on the water after purchasing a dispersed/basic camping permit at the welcome station. Sites are fairly level and have a concrete picnic table and fire ring with cooking grate. Setup my RTT and made myself dinner. Had a few furry visitors over the course of the night trying to access my trash, so make sure you secure your food and garbage! Can’t knock them for trying though.
