The lack of shade was rough, and no trees caused our tents to almost blow away. But, the camp host was very kind and sweet. The lake was close and four wheeler trails were close by.

No trees due to fire in the past. I don't see where that was described anywhere that no trees in entire area and it was a super hot weekend. We did not stay, Pulled up and pull away and found somewhere else.
