The groupsite is large. You can get to it in a standard car, but I would not suggest lowered or low clearance vehicles go past the locked gate. There is a flat unpaved parking area where the paved road ends. Vault toilets were clean, but there is no running water on site. We made stops at the Lakeview Campground water spigot to refill camp showers and stuff. The "mini" campsites wrre unkept and did not have enough flat area to comfortable set up a medium or large sized tent, but the campsite has about a 10 minute trail leading directly to the lake. I ended up setting up camp around the parking area, but there were plenty of spots to setup tents behind the outhouses and by the rocks behind the group firepit, which has a grate to cook food on. This site would be perfect if it had the following: - a spigot similar to how the main campground has - tent pads near the mini camp sites Despite this, being away from a busy campground was nice, even if it is a bit further away from the marina and boat launch.

We had a very nice day feasting at our private picnic site. The night was cold, but I heard ducks and owls.

Our group certainly loved the fact that we had a locked gate as on Thanksgiving day several people tried to access the area. It wasn't as clean as I expected with many rouge campfire rings surrounding the main campsite. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the site.
