A very young couple did not like the fact we were next to them apparently, older Toyota Tacoma, metallic dark gray with back pickup bed cap small slide vertical windows on the cap, 2 dogs. A Blu healer and large black senior possible lab or lab mix. Thought it would be fun to vandalize my car in the middle of the night or early morning before 6 am, female with a horrible cough, ( laughing ecstatically and loud ) during or after the vandalism. Getting us very sick with whatever she has. I'd like to Thank You Kindly for being so immature and ignorant. Karma gf. Besides that, sorry went there, horrible winds at night, at least 40mph and in the 40s for temps.

We opted not to use one of 4 pavilions; 1 taken, one handicap, other two not exactly level and too close to each other. Perfect for the 3 families that showed up after we set up above on open space with a view of mountains and lake. Gravel/desert grass. Road is small rock/gravel. Great walks. Dog never leashed. She hangs around. Not much beach but there is one . Half dozen fishing boats. Stars pretty incredulous. It was upper 80’s. Stayed 2 nites parts of 3!dsys. Enough breeze n shade to make it pleasant
