First come, first camp

Despite contending with a fair share of mosquitoes, the tranquility of the location made it all worthwhile. The campsite, offering access to the lake, was a real gem. While the road to get there might be a bit rough, it's definitely manageable.

A clean pit toilet nestled in the woods near the entrance, ensuring a basic level of comfort. The picnic tables and fire pits added to the convenience, and you must obtaining a fire permit to use these. 

The echoing calls of loons during both day and night created an immersive natural ambiance, and the hooting owls added to the enchanting soundscape after sunset. It's clear that the campground is popular, perhaps even a bit crowded at times. Some folks seem to make it their semi-permanent home, but the managing authorities are vigilant in addressing such situations. The combination of the peaceful lake access, the harmonious wildlife, and the basic amenities made for a truly memorable stay.
