Newer dock, watch for snakes

Beautiful boat in campground. Primitive campground with only an outhouse available for facilities. No water. You need to bring your own. There is also no cell service on the lake so enjoy the peace and quiet without electronics. Waters get rougher later in the season (late August) or early Summer so look at the weather reports before making the trip as winds and get rough and the lake can get nasty quickly. Each camp ground offers something different on the lake. Watch for rattlesnakes in the rocks. Fishing is good at this harbor and keeps you away from storms if they arise.
