We had a wonderful campsite next to the lake. The facilities were clean and convenient. We paddle boarded and kayaked on the lake, hiked the trail around the lake and down to Dowdy lake, all which was very nice. It is basically in town, so this can be a plus or minus depending on what you want.

Vault toilets need to be cleaned daily. If a day is skipped it's too smelly to use.

It was very quiet most of the week. Some noisy neighbors moved in for the weekend, but quiet hours were mostly observed. Although there were threats of rain all week, for the most part the weather was pleasant with occasional cools winds. Overall a very relaxing retreat from the hubbub of daily life at home!
