Nevertheless, the timeless beauty of the mountain forest remains. The wonderful pitch black nights, Milky Way strung across the sky.
The low lake doesn't bother me too much.
I'm also not a "day-tripper". As much work as camping is, who wants to then spend the day running around like a chicken with its head cut off? No, not for me. I spend most of my time within the (yuuuge) camp site just enjoying living outdoors in a beautiful forest.
The cycles of the day, meals, reading, writing, campfire, etc.
The wonderful shade the trees provide to keep the campsite tolerable even on the hottest days.
(Needless to say, I'm solo: nobody else would enjoy sitting around reading all day in a campsite!)
For food prep, I do recommend a large fully netted canopy to enclose the picnic and stove area. This can defeat the numerous bugs, especially the vexing Yellow Jackets (in the morning) and Moths (in the evening). Although it adds yet another layer of tedious work: zip in and straighten base, zip out and straighten base.
If you enjoy camping and love living outdoors, Tannery fits the bill exactly. When the lake is full, there's none better.
