We arrived in September about a week after Labor day and had our choice of almost any site - there were very few campers here. Since it was a hot day, 93 by mid-afternoon, we found a site that would provide some afternoon shade, #59.

Around the campground

Sites 53-58 are on a slight slope with a bit of a view of the lake.

About 40 years ago the county planted lots of trees throughout the campground and the results are now evident. The majority of sites now have at least one tree to provide some summer shade. These are sites 64-72.

There are nine walk-in sites, just a few hundred feet from the parking area. This is site 120B.

Sites 7-12 are in the year-round loop and offer 50A hookups.

Site 18 is a rather private site with a view of the lake.

Sites 48A, 50, 52 and 59 (that's us barely visible way up at the end).

There is one centrally-located bathhouse with free hot showers. Missing, however, in or near the shower stalls, were benches, shelves or hooks.

Scattered throughout the campground are a number of rather snazzy privies.

The lake is large, offering good fishing and boating. Near the campground is a fishing dock.

Along the path to one of the walk-in tent sites is this old iron truss bridge. There was no sign to tell of its history.
