First time at this lake. Found it difficult to find camping area. Need better signs.

Wonderful COE. Very large campsites, very long camping pads. Sites are close together but the size of the sites makes that a potential non-issue. We loved our site on the upper point, the views were spectacular of the lake and surrounding hills. Just a gorgeous place to camp. Very close to Manhattan for convenient shopping and KSU events. Utilities are good, but be warned the water pressure is unbelievably strong. Water pressure reducer absolutely necessary. We had lost our pressure reducer on a previous trip, and that resulted in a leak inside our camper. There are trees planted for shade on the upper area but now it's open and would be hot and windy in the summer time. Other areas of this campground do have shade, so plan accordingly. This was our first time here and we will return. Just such a peaceful place to be. I didn't want to leave.

We were in spot 23, and it has quite a slope to it. A very nice spot other than the slope. It would be nice if there was more room for backing in though.,. The spiders were a bit if a problem as well.
