We had a beautiful water front site where we could launch our kayaks (or raft) into the water. We always had beautiful sunrises! We enjoyed bikeriding along the paved roads. The showers/restrooms were clean but just average. Could use some updating in the showers. You can buy wood on your way nearby but cannot bring from home. Could use more full hook up sites on the water, perhaps the sites across the lake which are numerous but do not have electric or water. We did not have sewage and don't believe they have any sewer sites. Would love to have a cafe/store. Would love to go back.
