Difficult To Find In The Dark

Camped here overnight in August 2020 on our way back to Georgia from Montana. I made the reservation on the drive down and there were plenty of sites available. You must have a reservation between May 1 - September 30. However, our site was very difficult to find in the dark when we arrived. The map was very confusing and so were the road signs. After 20 minutes or so of driving all around the lake with no luck in finding out campsite, we were almost about to give up and just pick a random one. Finally we found the loop we needed. We stayed in loop “Silver Crown” in site S-53 Since we still couldn’t find our reserved site, S-55. S-53 was in the middle of a field at the top of a small hill. There was a picnic table and fire pit at the site and the bathrooms (no showers) were nearby. Plenty of room for both of our tents but offered no privacy. The boat ramp for the lake is close by so expect activity early in the morning if staying in the summer time. The next morning we found our original site closer to the water. We were afraid to drive down that way because at night it does look like you may drive straight into the lake. It was just so dark and I wasn’t impressed with signage which is why I give it 4 stars. There are pull through sites and back ins. Just look online and pay attention to the map when you reserve your site!
