Lovely location!

Pros:

-mostly quiet, there’s some noise during the day from motorized boats, and if people show up to their sites late in the evening/night, it’s very disruptive because it’s so quiet otherwise

-vault toilet is well maintained and clean (but bring your own hand sanitizer)

-views

Cons

-very sandy

-entire campsite was grassy with a prickly grass that attached to everything, we each got a few splinters and they would stick you through your socks

-when we went, the lake was at 18% so the shoreline was very far from our ‘waterside’ site- We drove, but it would have been really tough if we’d boated and had to carry all the gear a couple hundred yards from the water through mud, sand and prickly brush

Of note:

-fun to watch the little lizards everywhere

-tent plots are concrete so it’s difficult to find a place to get your stakes in

-not a lot of level parking spaces (we have a rooftop tent so this was a challenge)

-it’s about a 15 minute sand/gravel road drive to get to the campground from the closest paved road; you don’t need high clearance but its definitely off-road

-it’s about 15 minutes sand/gravel drive to the North/West Beaches where the swimming area is, the water from this campground is not as pretty or clean looking (we didn’t go in here so we can’t speak to it)
