Worth the rough drive
You’ll want a high clearance/4wd vehicle. We took my Honda Element and had to camp in the campground instead of near the lake, which was 1/4 mile from campground. Too many big rocks and ruts in the road to attempt. The lake is gorgeous and saw people catching trout. Bring a kayak or SUP to enjoy the lake. The campground was very peaceful, especially near the creek.
