Great place. Good sites. Shade available. Hiking trail around lake is great and convenient. I rented site 038, a RV site, on my first reservation; I rented site 055 on my second reservation. The tent sites, like 055, are a bit small for vehicles with rooftop tents (RTT). This is not uncommon at other Recreation sites, but it makes it difficult to choose a site type not knowing if the tent site can accommodate a RTT vehicle.

It was absolutely beautiful! The area we are at was very quiet and peaceful. Only complaint I have is as soon as the sun goes does the gnats were terrible and couldn’t use flashlights or the fire without choking on them.

My water hydrant at campsite was leaking at the faucet so my campsite was wet the whole time.
