Families chasing a real swimming lake and the convenience of on-site kayak rentals, showers, and a snack bar will find this hard to beat in summer. Grab a walk-in lakeside tent site the moment reservations open, and pack shade gear for afternoon heat.
RV sites here are narrow and close together, road noise carries into camp, and summer weekends have been compared to a festival crowd. Solitude seekers or light sleepers should consider shoulder season or look elsewhere in the region entirely.
