Learn more about alerts →Anglers and paddlers who pack in their own water and bug spray will get the most out of this place. Bass, trout, crappie, and bluegill are all in the lake, the rocky beach is steps from most sites, and late September hits the sweet spot before the October closure.
No potable water on-site is a hard stop if you're not prepared to haul it in. Add 'savage' mosquitoes near the water, rattlesnakes in the grass, and fine dust coating everything, and comfort campers will be miserable.

September is the best window before the campground closes in October. Daytime highs run 60–80°F with crisp nights, calmer winds than midsummer, and stable water levels for boating and swimming. Crowds thin after Labor Day. The oak-pine forest takes on warm colors in late September. Chilly mornings offer good light for lakeside photography. Summer brings heat waves that make afternoon lake access valuable. Mosquitoes are present, so bring repellent.
September cited as best window: cooler nights, calmer winds, reduced crowds before closure.
