Bring paddle board or kayaks. Good trout fishing but no bait allowed on lake. Bring fly rods, spin rods and spinners. You have have to release native trout, but can keep small limit of hatchery trout.

Experience was great! If you want peace and quiet, I would suggest one of the of three campsites nearest to the lake. AND most important, I don't recommend a long trailer at this campground. There are only 2 camp sites that will actually fit any kind of trailer and those are near the lake. The other spots are walk ins, meaning you have to haul your camping gear down a trail to set up camp. Cell reception is spotty, and the nearest town is very close by and they have a grocery store. I have a 15 foot trailer and reserved camp site 14. There is no running water, no power, and only permanent outhouses. I camped in September and the lake was pretty low. Im sure if you camp here in the Spring and Summer, the lake is a lot higher.

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.

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.
