About the Campground

The 4 sites can accommodate all sizes of rigs with the larger sites being on the north and south ends of the lake while the east and west sites are more suitable for truck campers and tenters. The area is also popular for nature viewing and hiking. A good boat launch is located on the northern end of the lake.
