Clean site and facilities as usual. Disappointed with *very* loud music from other sites, multiple days and nights, well after quiet hours. Kudos to the ranger for intervening but they can't be there all the time. No site host this visit. Not typical of this site in our prior experience.

Wonderful campground with large sites and privacy from other campers. Private docks on many sites, it was great letting the kids fish while relaxing around the fire. We were also able to launch our kayaks/canoe right from our site and paddle over to the beach. Very convenient. Can't wait to come back!

My grandkids had a great time catching sun fish and crappies. We fished off of the docks and didn't need to use the boat.
However, we were dangling our feet in the water, off of the campsite dock and less than 15 minuets after we arrived, and a very large snapping turtle tried to get my toe. I may have kicked it in the mouth as he did not get clamped on, but my toe was bleeding and later bruised. I wasn't overly happy, but that is what happens when you are in the wild. The part that concerned me was when I talked with the ranger and showed him how lucky I was to still have my toe, his comment was "yeah, we have several large snappers in this lake".
Maybe posting a sign to be careful and not put just toes or fingers in the water would be nice. I was able to convince my grandchildren that a turtle would not come up and bite them if they were in the swimming area as they were bigger and the turtle would be afraid of them.
We will camp there again, but I do worry for the safety of people just hanging around off of their dock.
