Been going here for camping for the last two years now in August. Wood fire bans were in effect both times but that's what happens going later in the summer. First time I went up was for the solar eclipse August 2017 and the trip was fantastic. Going when it is in the warmer time in summer is great as the water isn't too cool and its a great way to cool off from the sun. Plenty of fish jumping every morning and I hear there are about 11 species of fish in the lake.
