Despite being a double site, please note that there is only ONE bear locker available. This severely limited us on our ability to properly secure our food (Site 25 which is a triple site has 2 bear lockers).I booked this site along with site # 22 and they make a fantastic large group site! Site #22 has a nice large gathering area but it is in full sun for most of the day so we used that area for the campfire in the evenings and spent the days in site #20 which has a nice amount of shade throughout the day but not the best campfire space.If you choose to book this site without booking # 20 I would warn that you will feel close to the other group.We were able to fit a 24' 5th wheel, Truck and 2 cars on the parking strip. the parking area is unlevel front to back sloping down towards the rear.We spent a lot of time down by the lake but due to the location of the site we decided it was best to drive to the lake parking lot to bring our things down to the shore area, we then returned the vehicles to the campsite (the parking lot requires an additional fee) and walked back down. Waking down to the shore while carrying everything would have been difficult, the walk back up was at a definite incline so not an enjoyable walk when carrying anything.There is ZERO cell service here, no matter which carrier you have. Ice is a 30 minute drive back into town. There is a lot of easy to scavenge firewood to be found around the area.

We had a great time! I recommend getting one of the double sites if you have more than one tent. We had a double and looking at the singles, they were tiny so I was glad we did as we had 3 tents and would not have fit. We went fishing and all 4 of us caught trout from shore using power bait and lures. There is bears here! Make sure you put your cooler in the bear box or your car. A bear did get into our cooler and eat a bunch of our food. It was scary watching him from a peek hole in my tent eat all my burgers! But wow what a story to tell. Beautiful campsite and lake though. Oh and youre allowed to cut all the dry wood you want for fire wood. We brought an axe and paid for no fire wood.

Family fun, kayaking, paddle boarding, bike ride or walk the trail around the lake. 3/4 of trail is paved from campsite to boat ramp near the dam, dirt trail from boat ramp over dam and around other side. Dogs are welcome. Bring shade a lot of the trees along waters edge have been cut or fallen down. The water was pretty cold still but clear and refreshing.
