Enjoyed our weekend here!

Nice quiet & small campground on a hillside.  Loved how remote this location was, but be prepared to be a billy goat when trekking to the restroom no matter your site location.  Even though it was a busy holiday weekend, it was a very peaceful weekend.  Very clean restrooms.  No signage to sites if you aren't familiar with the campground.  Terrible "slow bumps" in/out of campground . . . a little excessive.  Beautiful lake/area, but must drive from campground to water's edge.  Will likely visit again!  PS--Currently issues with potable water; must bring your own.
