Beautiful lake and campground, awesome fishing! Unfortunetly you get the typical campers that have no regard for anyone else around them. "It's all about them" and they could care less if they are disturbing anyone.

Got an email before we drove up saying there were water issues. We were in e loop and had to commute to c loop for water. But the weather was nice and the fishing was good.
