Group campsite C provided a wonderful, well shaded area for our extended family camping get together of 45 people including adults and children. Parking is convenient at the site with spots for 6-8 cars.
The site is large and provided 5 pads to set up large tents as well as plently of room to set up smaller tents and hammocks. One draw back was that there were only 2 picnic tables at the camping site.
Group campsite C has a large fire pit. The fire pit does need cleaning and the rocks around the fire pit need to be reset. There is also an amazing grilling area separate from the firepit which we loved.
Access to the lake area is about 1 mi down the road with plently of free parking. The route is easy to walk but driving and parking was helpful for children, coolers, chairs and beach stuff.
A pit toilet is located right near the site which was clean and flush toilets with showers are just down the road easily walkable.
Everyone had a great week!!

Some of these burns will be next to and around this recreation facility and may cause smokey conditions during the actual burning and for the days following the burns. Sometimes we do not make a decision until the very morning that we will be able to do the burn due to weather and staffing.
