Site 8 - clean, flat, easy to back up a 25’ trailer with minimal effort. Water and dump station toward the exit AFTER you drive around the loop. Primitive toilet adjoins the rear of the site with blacktop path.

Very nice camp sites {spacious } there no camp fire wood available at the camp grounds but there place in the area to get some. fishing at the dam is possible a little rocky shore line makes footing a little difficult but manageable.nice fish cleaning house and rest rooms.
