Loved the close location to the water. Just note the campsites by the water don’t have water hookups. The bathhouse had 4 rooms/showers and all seemed to have some type of issue. The walls are also quite brown from the water staining/iron or something. Overall though great campsite and good location on the lake. Will stay here again.

Stopped by to check out the campground and the water access. Nice little peninsula with wide beach access. Fun drive through the hills to this location with good paved road.
