Lake Santeetlah is a stunning lake

I have camped at several different dispersed locations around lake Santeetlah. Superb views of the clear lake water. Some sites are high above the lake so hard for direct water access. Some are at water level. The cell service for Verizon is useable in a few spots but mostly there is no cell signal. Some sites are ok for solar panels but others are very shady so choose your location wisely. One site has a pit toilet but most don’t. Nearly all are Drive in locations.
