Great spot to camp or RV. Numerous hiking trails, wild horses, and beaches by the lake to unwind.

I hate to give away the secret. It's a great place to prep and decompress. Outside of that is reasonably affordable for powered spots. Water is a little sketchy. Many spots lack it. Our current water is red when first coming out of the faucet. Great views, lovely wildlife, clean bathrooms. Just don't park in the gravel.
