Lakeside camping yes but there are some trees between campsites and the lake. Came in August, very hot one night but got breeze off the lake the second and it was nice. Lots of tiny ants! This is a fact of camping though and our tent stayed ant free. The sites are the closest together I've ever seen, we were only feet from our neighbors. The bathrooms were quite a walk and no showers but we used the showers a 2 min drive away at Honey Flat campground. Water works fine and is a nice feature for a walk in campsite. Shelter over the picnic table also nice for the midday sun and occasional rain drops.
