Great spot right off the road. Traffic calms down at night and the bar is a great spot to hang out. I will definitely be back if I’m ever in the area again.

All sites were lakeside which I really enjoyed! Right across the street was the Lodge/Restaurant which served lunch and dinner and had regularly scheduled live music.
