Cute Spot. Beautiful views.

We rolled into the last spot which was the only spot with no tree coverage. So that stunk.

But it is a cute campground. Just off the highway so it is easy access. A toilet, a boat ramp, and several trails down to the water. Great spot to SUP and play around.

This is a high traffic area though. Lots of fisherman's and their boats coming and going. They drove a bit fast for y liking with kids and dogs.

But we would stop again for the water access
