Nice little campground

Nice little primitive campground with about 8 small spots. Has a nice sized lake good fishing if you are using a boat, or kayak. Spots have a table and a fire pit. Vault toilets, and a pavilion on site.

Ideal for fishing

The the campground area here is very small. There is no running water. There is one bathroom. It is secluded and nice to just get away, but each campsite is very close to each other so there is not a lot of privacy. It is usually not very busy though. It is a good area for fishing, kayaking or canoeing. It is a no-wake lake.
