We were there off season, so maybe why this was a pretty bizarre experience. Generally it's cool as it is literally on the lake, you can park 1 meter from the water. But there is are no marked spots, nothing really.. it doesn't look like any campground we've seen through our trip.bit was ok as a stop.
