Confirmed by 2 users | Last reported on June 12, 2021Wife found this lake on Google Maps.
We drove out on a Sunday to check it out, and was amazed by the quality of the sites for the money.
We camped the weekend of October 16th, 2020.
Dry Camping is $5 a night.
Electric (30AMP) sites are $10 a night.
We came out on a Thursday and got a sight (#5). The sites are gravel (white rock) and somewhat level. I was able to get level with our leveling blocks.
There were quite a few other campers, but the place was really quiet after 2200.
The lake has good areas and a trail around the lake. We put in several miles walking the dog.
The lake is a "no wake" lake, so no speed boats. The lake is small enough that it would be an issue anyway. Great kayaking lake.
There is a dump site (free) on sight. non-potable water available at dump sight.
Fresh water near the campground (one spigot).
Our only complaint was that there were only two dumpsters near the electric campground. More trash receptacles would be nice. We picked up trash from fire rings in the tent sites, which was annoying.
We will definitely stay again next year, this time with kayaks.

First off there are not 50 sites probably half that. The park is divided into three different areas the main part is straight in and bare to the left. The sites are gravel and mostly level. When we were there the locals had dropped off 6 trailers during the week to get spots for the weekend. I doubt they pay the fee for the night and I found it unusual at best.
