The outhouse stunk bad and the drinking water made us sick. We drank it before the warning was placed on the faucet

Only issue is there is nobody to talk to about like where to buy firewood or anything else that you might need

Beautiful and maintained site. The sound rushing water was very peaceful to fall asleep/wake up to.

Great if you’re wanting to be secluded! My site had a little trail down to the lake. Beautiful place to stay for a few nights.
