Beautiful lake with great sunsets and stargazing at night. We stayed at the south campground, and the campground hosts take excellent care of the bathrooms and showers. They have plenty of grilling/picnic spots, a doggie beach, and a normal beach swimming area.

Very nice day for a stroll. This park has camping clean amenities and a store. This park is always nice for a simple walk around by the beach and overflow damn. Always peaceful to hear the water flowing. Also. You can bring your stand up paddle boards here and cruise the lake. Very fun in summer.

Great campground! Stayed in one of their yurts. Clean and spacious! Only thing is, there is no air conditioner in them. It was very hot. Bathrooms super close and clean. So much to do there. Had a great time!

One of the most beautiful campgrounds I've ever been to. It'd been years since I last went and I still found it familiar and easy to get around. Large campsites and plenty of shade.
