Many people were fishing during our stay walking around and through our camp. Also the entire campground was extremely dusty. Some dust suppressant or paving is needed. The staff was very helpful and curtious bathrooms clean. Very nice lake its on.

Bathrooms were not tended to. The camp host allowed a huge party (50+ people) on Sunday with no one actually camping (day use) in an area clearly marked for camping only, no day use. Otherwise, nice trip.
