The biggest issue that we had was being confused about if we could have fires in the designated pits or not. We thought that it was a total fire ban, short of liquid fuel. We start to see the other campsites with fires and then the camp hosts came over selling bundles.

The site itself was beautiful, well kept, and easy to make our way to the lake. Gorgeous area to kick back and relax.
