The lake was great, camping areas are not bad either. Seen worse public outhouses at camping sites, not the cleanest but not the worst.
The down side is getting to the lake and what's close to it. There is a massive cattle/manure area about 1mile away so be ready for a terrible smell if coming from town on the dirt road. At the lake it self I didn't seem to smell it as much.
Still worth visiting and going boating, fishing, and camping. Specially since it's free.
