Van Pugh South is my goto for local camping. Facilities are always excellent, clean, and usually not to many loud hoolagins partying after hours. Had to cut my trip short this time around because the wind got way to crazy on my 2nd day. Otherwise it was a great trip.

Love this park very quiet! Site 10 were we stayed was very unlevel and steep drop off on left side. However, it was very windy during our stay and this side of park did have more protection than other side. Seen a Barred Owl the first day. Would stay here again but different site.

Absolutely beautiful lake. Camp road is a bit narrow, but the sites and views are terrific.
