Great remote site. Very HOT with little shade for an August camp. Amazing for star gazing! Closest store is about 20min away. Decent restrooms with showers and running water near campsites. Lake is a long walk from campsites and there isn't any shade by lake. Bring shade, suncreen easy-up etc. Drivable down to lake with boat dock from campsites about 1/2 mile. Stayed 8/21

!!!!!! BE CAREFUL !!!!!! Please take your time to look around your campsite when you arrive. Unfortunately we did not, and my brother in law stepped on a broken tent stake that someone left behind. The stake was sticking out of the ground about 3-4 inches. so you can imagine we had to cut our trip short to take him to urgent care. I know the park rangers cannot avoid and catch everything when they sweep the campgrounds so I am not blaming them or the campsite. Inspecting our campsites in the future will now be #1 on our list when we arrive.3
Other than the unfortunate injury, the campsite is great to relax. There wasn't a lot of noise from other campsites and it is close to the lake so that is a bonus! We reserved campsite #8 & #9 and they both gave good shade until 8am and it got fresh around 8pm. Bathrooms and showers are actually pretty close than expected.

Restrooms could have been swept better but then it has been a year since anyone’s been here. Besides that it was very nice campground. Quite and everyone was Pleasant.
