Since we had planned to be here for the entire week of Thanksgiving, we had made a reservation for site 92, which we had noted last year as one of our favorites - on a point of land and quite private. Date of visit: Nov 2008 |
|
|
|
On our last visit in Nov 2007, we had a very nice waterfront site - 47. |
|
|
All the campground roads are paved - great for walking and biking. There are several camping loops. Here we're walking toward the lake, with sites 69 and 70 on the right. |
|
|
Site 73 is right at the water's edge near the beach. |
|
|
Even sites that aren't waterfront are very nice. This is site 99. |
|
|
Site 26. |
|
|
Sites 33 and 32 are at the end of a point of land. |
|
|
Sites 43 and 42 would be great for two families spending a camping vacation together. |

This scene looking across to sites 60-65 shows how low the water level was at the time of our visit. |
|
|
Site 49. |
Site 22 was high on our list for a great site. |
|
Site 4 was another top pick - large, waterfront, and private. |
|
Site 12 is another great site, interesting in that it is a pull-in site. |
|
Site 7 is a large site, with the lake just off to the left. |
|
Site 76 ranks right up there with site 92 as one of the best. In fact, we moved to it for the last two nights of our 2008 stay. |
|
If you have children with you, site 96 has a play area right behind it. |
|
There are 5 bathhouses located throughout the campground. Only one is heated, but all do offer free hot showers. The heated bathhouse is located in the 70's loop. |
|
Kids have several playgrounds to use. |
|
For fishermen and recreational boaters there is a boat ramp. Again, you can see how low the water was in Nov 2007. |
|
Things had only gotten worse by the time of our Nov 2008 visit. The ramps are now unuseable. |

This shows how far the low water has receded from the normal shoreline. That's our LD n the center by the pine tree; normally the water would be just a few feet from our rig. |
This morning the temperature was 19 degrees at sunrise. The cold air over the warmer water created steam fog over the lake, which quickly burned off as the sun rose. |
|
That same day treated us to a gorgeous sunset. |
