It was in consideration of wild animals. Imagine mom deer’s nerves….. don’t eat those butts.. if i’ve told youse once, i’ve told youse a hundred times….
Oh oh! Yogi… those Deer are going to get addicted to cigarettes. Hey Boo Boo a pick-a-nick basket. No Yogi… the Ranger will clobber you, again…..

Things were better than they were earlier this summer. I’m still disappointed in the way the campsites are handled. The website says that there’s only two vehicles at each site. Vehicles are to back in. I observed vehicles pointed inward, on third and forth vehicles parked off the pavement. Ranger presence was minimal during the busy times and more during the week days. Bathrooms were a little better but could still use more attention. Directional arrows still need to be refreshed to prevent drivers from driving the wrong directions. Not all the showers were operating.

This entire campground is gorgeous. I highly recommend a site on the lake if you can. Great place for long and beautiful walks around the lake. Great lake for fishing.

The rangers were friendly and respectful. On the other hand The weather was extremely hot the days I was there it every day it went from 104° and reached 111° with the evenings in the low 90s high 80 thanks to having showers it made the heat bearable.

the site across from us was having a large, loud party all night. literally, they were still going in the morning. we were kept awake/woken up by loud music and people talking, which was already annoying. the worst part was that we kept hearing them walking through our campsite to get to the open area that was near us. we were woken up by loud talking and flashlights shining in our tents at 4am.

My last camp 8/22. Someone stole my cooler full with drinks, took our tent, chairs , tables , cooking propane tables top, and tarps. They stole these items while we are fishing down the shore.
