Lovely place. Lots of young families, idyllic lake.

Frank’s Diner, one of the reasons we picked this spot, is closing in a few days permanently. So come well prepared because this is pretty far from town.

What a sweet discovery. Spacious lakefront or water view sites. Bald eagles nested across the lake and diving for fish in the lake. Quiet and small, just 19 sites, all waterfront or with water views, most with dappled shade. Swimming, fishing, non-motorized boats. A disc golf course. A 1.25 mile hiking path around the lake.

It is a real pain to get to Finnon, but when you do, you'll be rewarded. It's almost a "secret" campground. Not really suitable for Class A RVs, more of a VW bus type of place. There is a lake and yes, one can swim or fish (catch & release). It is administered by the local VFD and reservations are done through Hipcamp.com
