Nice spot. A bit steep for older people up to the level picnic table and tent areas. Tent areas are relatively flat. Has an outhouse. Bring some air freshener but clean, we provide our own toilet paper but there was some when we arrived.

We enjoyed the campsite. The only thing we had a problem with was flat spaces for tents. There was a little bit of a slant in the spaces we put our tents on. Other than that, it was clean and lots of space. We’ll definitely go back

Everything was good except the bees were super out of control. We had to eat our meals in the lake because there were hundreds swarming non-stop. But besides that the beach was beautiful, water clear, campsite was very large.
