No showers onsite.
Closest showers are 3 miles down the road at Miller’s ($4 for 5 minutes)
Bathrooms were clean and very close to the lake. Our spots had shade but some had no shade cover.
Cell service was spotty. Calls would drop and sometimes texts wouldn’t go through.
Absolutely no data/internet connection.

A rotten tree broke and fell on our campsite. The tree knocked my husband unconscious and damaged his knee, clavicle, and hamstring. Part of the tree hit me on my back. Three tents were smashed by the tree. One of our kids or my spouse could of been killed.

Great spot. Really close to the water. Great view.
The forks resort that is nearby within walking distance has tons of consumables and most camping necessities.

If you plan on going in the water, the forks resort has some water shoes if you need some. The rocks on the shore are not kind.

Spot 26 didn't have shade from most daylight
Driving down south on the road gives nice different angles of the northern side of the lake and day use spots to eat at with tables or just to take some photos.

Cars and trucks are traveling too fast around the curve. Over all it’s perfect.
