Great camping area, nice and quiet and the camp host was awesome! A little windy on one side of the lake but the damn side is calm and swimmable. The paddling back into the marshy area is beautiful, lots of great birding at this campground.

Enjoyed the lake, campground was well kept, not too noisy. But....nowhere in the reservation information was it listed NO WATER IN CAMPGROUND!! Nor any water for sale! This was a terrible over-sight. Campers MUST BE PREPARED TO BRING IN ALL WATER, or drive down the hill to the next town to purchase it. The pit toilet was kept fairly clean, but by end of 3 days it was FULL!! Should have been emptied more often during the busy summer months.

Camp sites were nice and roomy and separated from each other. If you are going in the summer months avoid the weekend. Thursday and Sunday were great but Friday and especially Saturday were horribly crowded.
