Tall pines shade the sites and frame water views from the lakeshore loop. Osprey hunt along the shoreline, diving for fish in clear view of campers. Evening sunsets reflect across the water, justifying the campground's name. Sites are relatively close together but maintain privacy through vegetation and natural spacing.
