Secluded oasis

This little gem of a site is small and secluded. You can't even find Paulo Reservoir on Google Maps. It's a good place if you like being away from the bustle of Fort Peck, but you still want to take a kayak or SUP on the water right when you get up. The only reason this is 4 stars is due to the lack of space for other campers. There are no specified campsites. It would be fairly packed if more than 4 rigs showed up.
