The campsites go all the way along the lake to the north end but the south end spots right on the water are nice. There is cell phone reception but it’s not great. We need our starlink plugged in to work online.

We stayed here for the 10 day limit and loved it!
Early March it was warm enough to paddleboard which we found more enjoyable on the cove down the road from the main lake!
The road in was in good condition with a bit of wash board in places. Plenty of campsites to choose from.
The bugs came out en masse during the evening so have fire going or take a break and go inside for a bit.
Trash service kept the two dumpsters empty and the area was clean for as much use as it gets.
The only negative thing I would say is the amount of military jets flying over early in the morning and at times late at night. If you don't mind the noise of the jets, it can be fun to watch and wonder what is going on.

I’m revising my review after a massive bug infestation after dusk.We spent the night smacking them and used bug spray and citronella candles and now out walls and ceiling look like there was a mass murder. We both itch and won’t be back.

The free area looked like a sweet place but a few too many folks for us today. Dogs needed to roam after a long drive. Sounds a great pull off just before the lake entrance and free we roamed. Roads and pull outs just fine to drive and park on.

We were here on Presidents’ Day weekend and it was packed. There’s one big area near the boat launch with official looking spots all parked in a row, another large area with people parked very close to each other up on the ridge and lots of more private spots right on the waters edge. If you do go with a waters edge spot though, you are right next to the road. Maybe it’s quieter when it’s not a holiday weekend, but it was pretty constant when we were there.
It’s easy access and nicely grated, any rig should make it just fine.
The views over the lake are spectacular and the sunsets gorgeous, but right around sunset hour the mosquitoes came out with a vengeance. 2 of our nights were super windy which kept them away but the other 2 were awful.
Cell service was great for both AT&T and Verizon with zero issues for working.

The only thing is that the days we were there, there were cars, trucks, ATVs and dirt motorcycles going by throughout the day kicking up dust everywhere. We had to stay in the trailer to get away. So, I would recommend to pick a spot to camp further away from the main road.
