The campground was clean and not crowded. The lake was also nice, even though there is not really a beach and the dock was taken down, but the water temp was perfect. Cell phone reception was a nice bonus. The pit toilets stunk (of course), and the lock was broken. There is no where to put trash so it was a hassle packing it out (we drove it to Snowville before packing up). And there was not a lot of shade.
