The campsite is basically on the road and there was no place to pitch the tent except between the fire pit and the picnic table. There may have been other space, but due to covid the adjoining tent sites had all ready spread out there tents and if there hadn't been a picnic table, I wouldn't have known it was a site. Please take remove this site. It is subpar even during non covid times. I ended up moving to the walk in site next to the visitor center.

We stayed for two night. Site is well-maintained. Easy access to lake. Neighbors respect quietness at night. Will definitely come back again.
