Lake water was down over 3 feet so fishing wasn't the greatest but we had beautiful weather and had a few good days fishing. Enjoyed the relaxing on the boat and kayak in peaceful setting. Campground was clean and quiet and everyone was friendly.

The grounds were beautiful, and my campsite was the best, with a view of the lake from my tent. The hike was lovely and the paddling was glorious! I wish I had an orientation, as it was my first camp out and I didn't know there was access to fresh water outside and I never found a place to buy firewood so could not use the fire pit. And, since it was my first time out to camp in a park like that, I didn't know that friends got a 50% senior discount, and I'm 66, and I could have used that money to buy firewood if I found any. That was the only downside, just didn't know some of the things I needed to know to make it better. Maybe you can pass this on to other newbie camping seniors!
