I have not been camping here but the lake is nice! After the rains early this year, the lake is the most full I have seen! No reception when going up the mountain. There's a store at the bottom just before coming up the mountain I don't think there's a store at the actual lake so try to bring everything you will need. There are several picnic areas but during the weekend it gets really packed in the summer so you will need to go early to reserve those picnic spots as it's first come first served. Since the lake is really full, there is only a tiny area where you can swim on the shore and that kinda sucks. We always take the boat so we get the full experience. The water is pretty choppy, it can get windy. There are little coves all around the lake that if you have a boat, you can drive out and find a spot on the coves. It's super nice to do that because like I said it gets packed. Dog friendly, it does get super hot during the summer and there are a lot of dogs so keep that in mind. There are restrooms on the shore just a little off the dock and also there are multiple floating bathrooms on the lake.
