I was the only one there so plenty of privacy. I agree with other reviewers that there is no privacy when there are other campers. It feels and looks like a picnic area, not a campground. Quite a bit of noise from the nearby road.

I pulled in on a Friday night in November (11/10). It was completely packed with what seemed to be hunters and their groups of hound dogs. It was set up well and there were three different sections with bathrooms near each of them. There was pavement for you to park your car on, and everything seemed comfortable. The people seemed nice, but it was just way too busy for me so I ended up leaving.
There was nothing private about this, unless what other reviewers mean is that the other campers that were there the nights they were staying were in the different sections. But if everyone is in the same section, you’re all on top of each other.

We ate some walnuts and some pecans from the area. Awesome bonus!

This is quiet and pretty with picnic tables and water pumps. Great for an overnight. I saw a few hikers because there is a trail that skirts the campground, but otherwise I was the only one here on a July Sunday night.

I arrived just before sunset, and I missed the turn where the camping area was. After looking at some photos on this app, and disconnecting my car from my motorhome, I was able to find the camping area. Just make sure you turn left pretty much right after you pull in. I was there on a Thursday night, and I was the only person in the whole rack area. I did see three rangers/park workers, but that was it. In the camp area, there was plenty of shade to not be miserable on a hot day, and there were open areas, which were really great for viewing the stars at night. There were so many stars! I could faintly hear trucks on the nearby highway, but it was still rather quiet. There were water pumps at the campsites. They were public restrooms. There was also a boat launch into the lake. I forgot to note the cell coverage, but I had good enough coverage with my AT&T hotspot to work on my laptop. And my phone is Verizon, and I didn’t have any issues with it.

This place is gorgeous. We are already planning a trip back in the spring or summer. Hiking here was great. Not long trails, but the views were so pretty. Water and restrooms available. We could hear some slight road noise where we parked, but wasn’t an issue.

Luckily there was NO ONE else around trying to camp when we rolled in at 7p local so we just turned around at the very far end and parked facing out along the lake in one of the pulloffs. Gorgeous sunset and sunrise, would be tough for anything bigger than a teardrop in busy season, who knows when that is.

This was a lovely spot to stop for the night. The sites were clean and had fire rings and picnic tables. Pit toilets were clean and well-stocked (TP). There was a little road noise but not bad. Would definitely stay again!

We were the only ones here. Heard coyotes, and an owl. Much better than a rest area, nice to sleep without road noise. It took a bit to get there but well worth the good nights rest.
Traveling through, we would stay again.

We went around the loop and pulled off to the side with the camper still hooked up just to get stopped somewhere before dark. Just brought our stairs in so people could still pass us with ease. It’s not right off the highway so it was a gamble but it did the trick. We didn’t drive up past the left turn area just in case we couldn’t turn around.
