Quiet campground. Some sites in the lower loop sit on a small ridge that overlooks the lake. These sites are fairly close together with little privacy. You will see and hear your neighbors. Be mindful that every word you say will likely be heard by the people in the site next to you. 😄 I stayed a single night in site 7, and the other campers were *mostly* quiet and respectful. Aside from that, the sunset views were spectacular, and cell signal on Tmobile was strong enough to work remotely for a bit. I didn't have enough time to take my SUP out, but the day use dock area is on the south end of the lower loop. There is a trail from the campground/parking down to the water that is fairly steep, so come prepared with appropriate footwear if you plan to carry a boat down.
