Great source of water

We stop here regularly to refill water jugs. The sites are wooded and private. The lake has clear water and a sandy bottom.

Scenic and well maintained

We tent camped at RV site 1 and found it to be a really great space. It was far enough away from the other RVs and really close to the boat dock. There was a great path to the lake to see the frogs. The boat dock was a quick walk to sprawl out and watch the stars. The host seemed to keep the establishment in tip top condition. We had just one night but found the fire pit and amble space to be very welcoming and great.

Quiet campground, popular for fishing

The sites further from the lake are not as well maintained. Sites are fairly large. Great fishing in early/mid June. No electricity. Lots of mosquitoes, especially near lower lying, swampy areas. Nice 2.5 mile hiking trail from boat landing to Spectacle Lake (which has a nice beach area), but filled with the most mosquitoes I've ever seen.
