No pictures on the site so you really have no idea what you are getting into. The site we picked was site 11 way too close to site 13. The lake is gross

When we got there, some day use people were parked in our spot and were nowhere to be found. Thanks to the awesome volunteers at the front gate, we were able to obtain an even better spot despite the thoughtless and inconsiderate freeloaders that tried to ruin our trip.
