Peaceful

Only stayed a night, got in at 9pm and left around 8am. Peaceful and quiet with no one else around. No mice, just some moths. Had some great views when the sun came up! Also great fishing at the reservoir!

Nice spot, if you like mice

It’s a nice enough lake, if you like mice! I caught 11 in 2 nights. We’re leaving this rodent infested area!!
