Not ideal for camping, if you have large groups like we do . Limited parking, steep slopes up to campsites , sites are small with a flat spot for a tent. The bathrooms were clean , but one of the doors doesn't lock! A great place to visit for a day on a mountain lake, fishing, kayaking and the like. Lots to explore in The surrounding forest including panther Creek falls.

We love this place so much, we actually made the 2 hour drive 2 weekends in a row! The water is beautiful, the locals are nice, no loud boats... Everyone just paddle boarding, fishing, and kayaking. This is one of my favorite places to go on a sunny day.
