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.
