I absolutely loved the RV spots as it had electricity and water of course. The only thing I did not like is that the noise curfew is not respected by all visitors and the ranger drove by and didn't say anything so it seems like its not enforced

Although there was no check-in process, we found our sight, with a paper note, that showed our reservation.
For the most part, the camp was clean and well maintained. The shoreline was free of debris and wood.
The water level was quite high but the launch ramp was fine. Make sure to bring a mussel sticker and a boat license.

Fun place to camp but it's noisy at night. Quiet hours aren't honored, so bring ear plugs. People partied all night. We were there on the weekend so maybe weekdays aren't as bad. The lake is fun. Restrooms have flush toilets and were clean.
