Camp (RV and tent) on east side of reservoir, few trees, open to strong winds. Fishing is okay.

I loved it but prepare yourself for a lot of biting insects

I came here for one night (a Saturday) and there were plenty of spots available for first come first serve. That said, it is an 18 mile long dirt road to get in so it would stink to get there and not find a spot. I would reserve if possible. The camping spots were clean and the toilets were in good shape. Prepare yourself for a lot of biting insects so I would bring a screen house if you are staying for more than one night. The lake was gorgeous!

Nice campground, lousy road

Nice campground with great views of the lake. Checked out the site we were signed up for (last one available} before bringing up the rv. Site was very narrow & steep (definitely not level) and filled with large rocks that would have made leveling very difficult. Road in was gravel with washboards in the curves. Last few miles in were very rough. We cancelled the reservation & stayed elsewhere.
