Good stop over

Plenty of places to camp with fire rings. The lake is pretty and you can find a spot right on the lake. If you go a little further just passed the campground you can camp for free. Didn’t like the cow pies in my campsite for what they did to the lake. Stayed for three days we enjoyed ourselves. The road there from burns was pretty easy breezy.

Loved it!

My first time here and I loved it. Within 5 minutes of arriving we had a deer walking through our camp site. It was super hot but had lots of shade. I had to bring Clorox wipes to clean the toilet seat. The flies were insane, they were in the bathrooms and all over our food. Night time was super peaceful, except for the coyotes. The first night they yipped and howled all night, second night just once. I enjoyed it and will definitely stay here again. The lake had a lot of gunk growing in it, so I didn’t want to go in, but I should have brought the kayaks.
