This is a little gem hidden away. As a tent camper, I appreciated the toilet and shower facilities. Wasn’t very busy when we went through so very quiet. We stayed for one night before continuing our travels

Absolutely beautiful spot for tent camping right by the lake. Clean and accessible bathrooms and covered picnic tables! Great to have a spot focused on conservation and flood prevention and supports amazing wildlife! Especially enjoyed watching the pelicans fishing at dusk!
