 We arrived on a mid-March Wednesday with no reservation. Not a problem - lots of sites to choose from. We selected site 14, a pleasant water-front site in the R. O. Hannah Campground. Unlike the CCC Campground on the other side of the lake, water-front sites are not considered Premium sites with a higher cost. This campground wasn't as busy and thus was quieter - quiet is good!
|
 So let's take a walk around the campground and look at a few sites. This is site 5, a back-in site with a view of the lake down through the trees. |
 Site 12 is a pleasant site overlooking the lake. |
 Sites 19 and 17. All the sites here have cement pads. While some are reasonably level, a good number slant one way or another.
|
 Site 21 sits by itself in a hollow. |
 The site in the foreground is 22, while beyond it is 23.
|
 Located in a small cul-de-sac are sites 27 and 28.
|
 One of the nicest sites on this side of the lake is 29. It is located at the end of the road, is quite private and has a great view.
|
 Site 37 is the only pull-through site in the park. To use it, however, you have to go the wrong way around the camp road.
|
 There are two bathhouses on the east side. I was surprised that this small one had room for showers. The larger one also has a washer and a dryer - $1.00 a load for each. |
 By road it's about two miles around the lake to the CCC Campground. But there is a trail around the north end of the lake which is a lot shorter. It passes through a primitive tent camping area. Not much here other than a water faucet and a Porta-Potty.
|
 Continuing along the trail we end up at the CCC Campground. Here are sites 46, 47 and 49.
|
 Site 49 struck my fancy as the nicest site on this side of the lake.
|
 Sites 50-55.
|
 There are two crossroads down the hill in the middle of the campground. On this one are sites 71-77.
|
 If you have a boat and/or like to fish, site 82 would be a perfect choice with a small dock right behind it.
|
 Sites 89, 91 and 93 are all back-in sites across the road from the lake. A nice view through the windshield.
|
 Sites 95 and 94 are among the Premium waterfront sites on the west side of the lake. There is no senior discount for these sites.
|
 Sites 98-103 are farthest from the lake. |
 Sites 104-109. One of the bathhouses is in the middle of this row on the right.
|
 Returning from the CCC Campground, I was passed by these bikers. The trails are a bit of challenge with lots of gullies and swampy areas.
|
 On the east side of the lake is a water slide and a swimming pool. For lake swimming, you need to go to the west side beach.
|
 There are several fishing docks along the lakeshore. Across the inlet is the day-use area.
