Great campgrounds but road into the park needs to be repaired.... Lots of pot holes. Lake has good fishing

Almost no cell phone service so make sure to take pictures of a map (or have a physical one). Otherwise my site was wonderful!!! Backed right up to the lake and lots of space. Highly suggest booking a campsite here
