Solitude and Service

We arrived on a Thursday with only one other group here, today is Friday and at 2:30pm, we are now the only ones here. The pit toilets are clean and well stocked, the day use area is beautiful!!! Access to moor your boat at a few sites, though it is down the hill from your actual campsite, which is no problem as they have stairs/paths down to them. This beautiful park seems to be very underutilized as it is July, going into a weekend, and all we hear are the birds and critters!!! PERFECT

Pretty but unremarkable

A nice campground and a nice stay. It’s pretty but no views of the lake except from the boat launch area. All in all a nice day but nothing that would make me come back again.
