Excellent campsite when the lake level is normal. Because the water level fluctuates due to dam control, our Memorial Day visit was difficult because of low lake levels that had the dock too high out of the water to be functional. The campsite is spread out, and the second tent site is almost out of view. Tall pine trees provide shade of the large flat space where fire pit, bear lockers, and table are located up new wooden steps from the dock.
