Besides the camp hosts being gone when it actually mattered it was great.
A homeless man came to the camp next to us and constantly begged us for food and drink. Made us fearful for our belongings if we went out on the lake, as he went around the entire campsite asking for things from every single camp and casing out every camp. So instead we had to sit in the camp to make sure this guy didn’t steal our belongings. Camp hosts were no where to be seen all day/night long. It was obvious he did not pay the fee for his spot.
Besides that the spot we were in was great, awesome views, relatively convenient restroom facilities, water spigots well places among the various camps. Fires were banned at the time, but really was not an issue. The ferry to cross the lake is a couple minutes away. Good sized town about 40 minutes away. Was an awesome time, when actual camp management was not required.

Campgrounds poorly organized, super cramped too. We made the mistake of setting up in the wrong campsite thinking it was ours and didn't even realize until it was too late because we had caused multiple other people to set up in the wrong spots unknowingly. Bear safety is not a thing despite hearing bears are in the area. Hopefully we were just misinformed, luckily saw no bears. Camp hosts seemed like nice people but were very unhelpful. They watched us set up our camp and didn't bother to let us know we were setting up in the wrong area. When we noticed a wasps nest forming and told them about it they handed us bug spray expecting us to take care of it. One of the bathrooms was absolutely disgusting, insane amount of flies came out of the pot upon opening. Luckily there were other very clean bathrooms, just a far walk which was pretty inconvenient.

Wonderful to be so close to the water. Loved watching the Ferry activity! Very quiet, even with other campers close by. Very clean. Love the host presence without interference in our camping experience. Suggest bringing a shade tarp as the location gives direct sun during the hottest part of the day. Appreciate a variety of sites for different types and sizes of rigs. Be aware cell service is zero or at best very limited.
