Some mention

"Campers consistently praise Beatrice Lake Rustic Campground for its quiet, secluded setting, excellent lake views and spread-out, shaded sites — many reviewers describe it as a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path spot that is great for tent camping and boat access. However, the campground is very rustic: facilities are minimal (pit/vault toilets, hand-pump water) and there are recurring issues with water quality, payment/cell coverage, and a dusty dirt access road."
