Site #44 was very nice. There was a very decent view of the lake. The site had a nice amount of space, I didn’t feel squished between campers which is important to me. The bathroom at North Overlook Campground was very clean and seemed recently renovated.

Site 17 was calm, peaceful, and close to the bike and walking trails and the beach. The staff were helpful, polite, kind and friendly. We enjoyed it so much that we signed for two more nights. We will be back.
