Lovely

Peaceful spot by a lake all to ourselves. After dark highway traffic subsided and we were able to sleep soundly. There is some t mobile reception.

Cute camp with highway white noise

Cute little park off the highway. 2 sites are available. I wouldn't haul a trailer into the park, but it's perfect for a small rv or tent camping. Allot of highway noise, but it's good white noise to fall asleep after you get used to it.

Easy to get to, right off the highway

Beautiful little pond for fishing if you have a kayak. The bank is surrounded by cattails with a nice ramp and only two wheelchair accessible peers to fish from.

The highway is about a half mile away and the noise does not stop. That being said, if I’m ever back this way, I would stay here without a second thought.

SiteThere’s only two sites to camp, one is large and the other small. We stayed at the small one.

Chill spot for a night

The spot is a small parking lot down a dirt road. It has nice views of the lake and ample places to park. There are some houses nearby and people use the lake for fishing, so there were people during the day! I was the only one there overnight.

Moderate noise from the highway and minor noise from nearby houses.

A fair amount of bugs -- but also hundreds of Lightning Bugs by the lake. Overall, a good spot to spend one night but less ideal for hanging out at camp.

Medium coverage on Verizon -- it better the closer you get to the highway/lake side of the lot.

Comfortable Spot

Nice little spot to stay off the lake. Really good spot to fish, lots of them just swimming around close to the top. Only two complaints we have are the noise from the highway, and the gravel road was very bumpy (we went 20mph or less the whole way).
