Tent camping dispersed

It’s a little awkward because it being a public campground there is a playground, a restroom, no showers, but there is water, no electrical hook up, but there are families that come here and kids to play. I set up camp along the lake so that it’s not close and weird for them.

I was wondering if I was in the right place at first if you drive up and around, you’ll know once you’re here, there’s actually a place where RVs park. They require reservations. I’m not sure the name of the place.

I did tent camping. There are signs that say camping in designated campgrounds up to 48 hours. I don’t see designated campgrounds. But I looked online and it said that it is disperse camping in this public area.
