Guard shack was closed when j got there but the host happened to be there. He was very friendly and pointed out the number to call for registering, and suggested a pull through site as I was only staying the night. I have the golden age handicap pass and usually get 50% discount, but this place only gave a few dollars off. Site was nice enough and the campground was quiet. Looks like you should be able to see the lake from the sites but there are a lot of trees in between. Overall, decent campground. Would return for a stop over or few days
