Beautiful Lake

We didn’t have reservations (which I highly recommend if you want a vault toilet). All of the good spots for the campground were taken, so we ended up back tracking just a touch and found an AMAZING free site. It was situated right next to the water. And while it didn’t have a vault toilet, we loved how secluded it was. It was perfect for our family. There was ample space for our two tents, hammocks, paddle boards... you name it. we loved it there. I gave it 4 stars because the campground itself looked squished together- like you were camping with your neighbor.
