I'm reluctant to review this site because it's such a gem that I don't want it to be overrun. Sure, there's raccoons at night but this is their home, not yours, and keeping food and toiletries out of your tent will avert any problems. The area is generally super quiet at night, especially compared to the North Shore campground which has over 400 camping sites. The bird noises referred to in another review are Great Blue Herons that nest in the trees in the middle of the group site. If there guttural squawking bothers you then you're better off staying in a motel! Hiking up a 500 bluff and from there it's ~ a 5 mile hike around the lake. Best of all: there's little or no cell service at this site!
