We stayed spot 36, it has almost no shade and is extremely unlevel and hard to park in because of hanging limbs. The reservation system is difficult to work with.

Campsite was beautiful, clean and mostly empty. Camp host met at site and provided trail map. Camp host also made introductions to other campers. Most of camp and trails under deep shade.

Love that’s it’s not crowded and sites are not on top of each other. The walk around the lake is always nice. Several deer were in the lake. Almost stepped on a copperhead two nights in a row. One on the lakeside trail and one in the road walking to take a shower.
