Nice campground with a beach!

Lovely area with many shaded spots. Electric hookup but no sewer or water hookups. The bath house is extremely clean and they have warm showers which was nice. We didn't realize there would be no service so I didn't research hikes before we left. We did take the hunter's path, off the beach parking lot, to the mid state trail but it was straight up the mountain and quite difficult. The beach was nice, not crowded, soft sand, and warm water. It's a great lake to kayak or paddle board on.
