Quiet and quaint small campground location that is great for kayaking and canoeing, not so great for boats when the water is lower. The evenings were nice but big activity is high in this area so bring repellent. The water is relatively clear and there is lots of fish activity in this area.

Campsites are maintained, however there are only vault toilets in this location. Other than people not removing their trash , which is ridiculous given the number of trash bins on the location, the area was nice and clean. Roads are in good condition and the boat launch is easy to access. The doc is a bit wonky again due to water levels.

Water is way down and dry. The buoys are on dry land. Otherwise it is nice even without much water.
