My only complaint is that site A31 needs a cover over the table other than that, very nice site and beautiful view of the lake the bathroom was very nice. A great place to escape for a weekend or longer I will be back.

I love this lake! I stay in a primitive site when I come here. The sites are maintained for the most part. However, firewood is no longer provided! And you can't bring your own!!...HMMMM. How do you have a CAMP FIRE WITH NO WOOD??!! I'm very DISSAPOINTED AGAIN THIS YEAR!. I've been coming here for the past 8 years. Thinking of going to Romanose from now on!

This site offers a great view of the lake and surrounding region. There are enough trees for shade but also open enough to enjoy the night sky. It is also close to fishing and easy access to Canton.
We arrived on a Sunday evening and departed Wednesday afternoon. We were surprised that lake area stores to include bait stores were closed Mon-Wed.
