    "Campgrounds provide water and electricity; in the heat, you'll need a fan. Even on the river, there is limited air circulation due to the dense tree cover."

    "Heavy tree cover means little air movement, even right on the water. Little popularity from the locals means this place is quiet and serene."

    "Stayed 1 night for rooftop camping on car. Chose to set up in the primitive camping area on the grass near the boat docking area. Quiet and peaceful with beautiful sounds off the lake at night."

    ". $6 for primitive. We paid for full hookups since the primitive area was overgrown and VERY primitive. We were able to just pull in and find a lovely, level, shady spot."
