Nice and peaceful getaway for our inaugural RV trip!

Small, quiet campground. Tall pines with hanging moss and palmettos make for interesting topography. Easy 2 mile paved hiking trial meanders around campsite and near lake. Nice sunsets in the evenings on the trail. There's a much longer trail system entrance that I'd like to checkout next time. We stayed in a travel trailer and the RV spots were well maintained, shady but not overgrown and well spaced out. Only about 3 of the campsites closest to the water actually have a good view of the lake. You can see  the lake slightly shimmering through the pine trees at the other sites though and that's intriguing. Makes you want to go explore!  A small  boat dock/ramp near the campsite is nice for those that enjoy water activities. I was wishing we had a boat or kayaks because the water is so peaceful and quiet being that it's surrounded by a National Forest. I bet the fishing is great!  Pretty little places to peel off from the trail to the left of the boat dock for picnics and jumping in the water. Saw some pretty cranes fishing. We had a nice refreshing rainstorm roll in and cool it down.
