If you’re tent camping be aware that some spots will be directly on concrete so it’s difficult to stake down. Also the toilets at C are convenient yet very dirty and they have no running water. The bathhouse is quite a way from these sites so I would recommend bringing water, toilet paper and sanitizer or soap.

The new summer pool level is much lower so the camp sites are much father from water than in years past. Tried to bank fish and hosts ran my boy and me away from the beach access (no one was swimming) then we was told not to fish by the boat ramp. There was no other access to the lake except through someone’s camp that is on the water side. Everyone had a fire going all night. Smoke was overwhelming at times. I feel fires should be extinguished by midnight maybe to let people sleep comfortably. I’m not anti-fire and a fire is certainly part of the camping experience but so many fires in a small area was just too much. Host was respectful when asking us to not fish. Restrooms was fine.
