Have been camping there for the last 35 years. Had to ask for the fire pit to be cleaned out. We were there 4 days, the showers were not cleaned once. In the past, they were cleaned everyday! As far as the lake, it has always been a beautiful place to camp.

Amazing, the scenery is beautiful, the air is clean, and you're far enough away from the light pollution to see almost every perceivable star. The lake/dam is a great waterfront where you can take your boat or go swimming, the water is really warm towards the end of August

Camped in site #23 and needed slight leveling. Lovely spot with great filtered views of the lake and a good walking distance to the lake without walking through any other campsites. No bear sightings but LOTS of annoying gnats. Several minor issues that we didn't experience on a previous visit: electricity in shower house and bathrooms was out for probably several hours one afternoon; although it was posted no fires, there were several wood-burning fires.

I just wish that we knew ahead that there was no potable water.
