A few good sites

So, this is a great little lake. There are a few sites that are amazing if you can snag them up first. However, it is pretty hilly and uneven. We had IMO the best site when we went. Water view and a few short steps down to it. I would say this is mostly a fishing and kayaking lake. There are a few very little beach areas where kids can splash and play. Just a nice rustic campground. Vault toilets that are pretty decent.
