There are 2 very large BBQ grills. We only brought 1 bag of charcoal and thought it would be enough to use both sides of one grill. It was not! Bring lots of charcoal.
The outlet is not located under the pavilion. I mistakenly assumed it would be on a pole next to the bar/shelf. Make sure you bring an extension cord if you wat to set out crockpots or something of the like.

Hawthorn needs an update. The campground has beautiful views of the lake. However, the sites are difficult to get into, and it is not very clear on the listings that the sites do not all have access to water. Please give this campground some much needed love for us local folks.

The trails were amazing and the view was fantastic. The water for your campers was a problem. Make sure you bring 100-150 foot of water hose to reach your camp spot and if your on the wrong side of the road, you will need something to protect your hose from getting tan over unless you just use your fresh water holding tank.
