Remote yet near town

The lake seems low. I am pretty isolated at this end of the campground. It is very windy today. I bet this place is baking hot in the summertime. It is basically desert with out much shade.

Beautiful park when its had rain and isn't too hot!

We stayed on the North side of the park in a fairly rough and unlevel site amd no sewer connection. It was however very peacful and had some big trees for shade. The facilities on thay side are quite old and also a bit rough.
