Beach Site #2- Just Show Up Camping
Beautiful view
The view is stunning. There are 2 other sites right on the water currently. Site 10 in my opinion is the best of the 3. During our stay it was very rainy and the “road” to the site did get VERY muddy. Our truck handled it just fine. The wind off the lake was fierce at times but we had our tent securely staked (extra stakes and as many large rocks and a cinder block on top of those stakes as we could find) and everything stayed put. There isn’t water or electricity at these sites. To us that didn’t matter. I definitely would stay again.

The Lot - Beach Camping
Awesome spot and views, shallow water if you have kids. Mike was great at getting us set up, even after all the rain. Fireflies at night were a bonus. One down side, a little hard to find
