Clean and Cozy

This place is clean and the sites are few but very nicely laid out. There are three sites up on a ridge “overlooking” the lake. I use that word lightly as there is a lot of underbrush so it’s not super easy to see the lake. The lake area is smaller but pretty and there is a boat landing there. Personally I’d say it’s best for canoeing or kayaking or only a smaller boat.
