JFK is one of the cleanest, quietest camping areas we’ve ever stayed in. Great place to fish, hike, bike ride, or just chill. The temperature is always about 5-10° cooler than up on the lake, due to the cold water coming out of the dam. If you like trout fishing, this is your place to go. Not expensive, and National Parks Sr pass gets you half price.
