Nice lakeside campground with some shallow areas for kids to swim. The tent sites didn't seem too close to one another, which was nice. The camp host was helpful - made sure the campers understood to keep their food items in their cars, there was a recent bear sighting at one of the sites where the campers left their cooler and food out on the picnic table. If you're looking to fish, recommend bringing a small boat or paddle board to get to deeper water, not many fish along the shoreline.
