We tented camped here with 2 kids. We actually got a spot in the loop beyond the lake. It was quiet when we were there, and the newly renovated bathhouse was a nice surprise- large, clean, well lit with accessible showers. We didn't hike to the top because of the kids, so instead we hiked Carrick's Creek trail. There is a small waterfall with a wading and swimming area that the kids absolutely loved. The swimming at the lake just so-so - I wasn't overly impressed, but the kids were happy. Overall would recommend.
