Quite serene

I was able to fit my 35’ trailer and truck in a spot with the tires at the concrete tire-stop. The width of the parking spots were barely big enough with the slide out. The spaces are relatively close. This didn’t seem to matter as there were only a handful of spaces occupied when we arrived. We were able to get a space that had a great view o the lake, and I’m sure the sunset would be great too if it weren’t from the wildfire smoke. No hookups. There is a dump station but was closed during our stay. I would stay here again for the $15 fee.

Well maintained, beautiful setting

Nice sites, some privacy. Ok clean flush toilets but no water in the sink. Water hub near each site. Picnic tables, fire pit. Place for big gatherings. Fishing is the big draw here. $15 night or $7.50 for seniors and disabled.

Pretty neat

We tried to find a campground nearby because it was getting late and somehow this site never popped up on this app for me -but, we ended up seeing a sign for it and turned in and were pleasantly surprised. Water fountains, sinks, flush toilets, fire pits and all of that. There are (harmless) spiders all over the trees and bushes (but I've read that about almost all of the surrounding campgrounds). Not sure whether they enforce payments or not, but the sign said it was $15 per site with $5 for an additional car. This was a nice place to stop in the middle of nowhere. Also, most of the campsites were empty so we were able to have our pick from some great spots. Plus, we made friends with a very friendly cat who was staying there.
