Great time and a wonderful lake to swim or paddle around. Would recommend the waterfall hikes as well as Bumpass Hell, just hike early or evening on a warm day.

Well manicured campground with well marked streets and parking. Bathrooms very clean and stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Everyone respected quiet times. Overall incredible experience.
