Close To The Lake

I booked our site kind of last minute so I did not have a lot of options.  The site I was in was fine.  I have a 25 ft. trailer with a slide out and it was a little tight.  The sites that back up to the lake were all taken. The campground was busy but not completely full.  Luckily no one was in the site right behind ours so we did have a little space and privacy at our campfire.  The beach to the lake is very close and the water was nice.  We did have a nice drive around the lake and another good drive through the nearby mountains.  The bathrooms and showers are clean but the shower head sprays water all over the room.  It was difficult to keep my belongings dry while I was showering.  We enjoyed our stay here.  It was relaxing and fun.
