Had easy access to the water for fishing or canoeing sites were nice in size equipped with a picnic table and a fire pit only thing missing was the top to the cooking table sites were far enough apart that you had privacy but close enough that you could interact with your neighbors

Great campsites right on the beautiful lake. Sunset view was unbelievable! We had quite a hike to the bathrooms because of the closed bath house. But other than that it was amazing. We had a great time, will come again!
