Had a great time camping with friends from church. The kayaking was great and the kids really enjoyed getting out of the kayak and standing on submerged picnic tables. The water level is really high this year.

The campgrounds themselves were nice. The tent-only non electric sites were a bit small but not by too much. The fire pits were fully functional and I especially found the table at campstove height useful, as was the regular picnic table and bench. The bathrooms & shower the first day: the shower was surprisingly well kept, and surprisingly had a range of temperatures from too hot to just right to warm to cold. The stream type from the shower head was closer to a bidet stream (one single stream, highly pressurized) than I'm used to, but that's workable. The bathroom stalls were too small - couldn't get my wheelchair in the shower without folding it first, and even without my wheelchair the toilet stalls were small enough that you have to squat awkardly next to the toilet to close the door. Fun fact, this can be fixed by simply changing the hinges on the door so they swing outward, if the park is looking to improve on a budget. Unfortunately, at the end of day 1 a ranger came around and told us that the wastewater facilities were having issues, so we could no longer use the bathrooms or showers, but could still use the pottable water spouts and the vault toilets by the boat ramp. The vault toilets were much more accessible (further to get to - we had to drive each time but someone more up for hiking could have walked it). There were no lights in the vault toilets but the sunlight lit it up really well in the day and a lantern worked wonders for at night. One of the vault toilets had a handle missing on the outside and the lock on the inside kept getting stuck, at one point I had to ask for my girlfriend to pass me a workglove to give me better grip to unlock it so I could get out of the vault toilet. That definitely needs to be fixed. They are well vented at least. The lake was great, the views were great. Other campers were nice to speak to but I wish they hadn't brought their speakers for their music. Overall it was good, just the distinct issues with bathrooms.
