Very nice campground. No power or water hookups but very nice. It does have a boat ramp but it is very small and limited parking. This lake is very very busy on weekends all summer long. Reservations are a must.

Around 10 sites, $20 for my car with a tent, nice managers, nice fire pit, table and room for a few tents per site. There are plenty of trees and birds but cows are not too far away and you can hear some road noise a little ways off.

Would really like to stay here, but they don't take reservations over the phone and not very helpful! Reservations are made through Recreation.Gov, most frustrating website! (BTW there is nothing available ever!) And why can't they just talk to another human being? I'm a HUGE RVer and travel coast to coast! This is the strangest area for RV Parks and Campgrounds ever!
