Don’t park under the Mocker Nut Tree at camp site 24 especially in the fall. Those suckers are loud bouncing off a Class C camper roof. Everything else about the campground, the lake, the area is Awesome, beautiful, quite, accommodating!

The site we were on dropped mocker nuts on us frequently and they made a very loud nose on the roof.
