Wind + dust= no fun

It was extremely windy, we paid 25online to reserve it. Beautiful Lake. We camped the Indian loop. The bathrooms were the dirtiest I have ever seen. They have forest rangers when u check in and they have them around camp but I guess they don't clean the bathrooms.

Great lake to play at.

This is a great place for a campsite. There is a really nice pavilion and really nice bathrooms with running water and showers. Close to the boat ramp and the views are incredible.  Really nice paths to get you to the beach and the boat ramp.

Lots of fish in the lake and craw fish. The water is refreshing to swim, water ski, paddle board or any water sport.

Lots of tent camping spots with great views, Group sites and lots of trailer camping with hook ups and water.

Lots of bathrooms with running water and also a few pit style outhouses. This campground can get busy in the summer months. They take reservations so that is your best option.
