Quiet spot

It was a good spot but definitely bring the bug spray. Decent access to fishing spots, although the fishing itself wasn’t very good. Clean restroom facilities as well. Cell service was sporadic at best.

Carr Lake

Lots of space . Grassy and leveled campsite .

The only con was the amount of mosquitos - bring plenty of bug spray or bug units to keep them away
