beautiful place. had 2 lakeside campsites. unfortunately on a vey steep hill and vey spread out. my daughter walk with a cane and it was difficult for her. just wish the site had better pics and descriptions, but that's been a problem with everywhere we have camped. our site by the water was gorgeous and private. if i'd reserved my second site at one to left or right of me instead of above me it would have been close to perfect
