Site 3- Lake Side East
Stunning Views
Really loved staying at this site again. It's beautiful. I stayed mid September and the weather was perfect. I can't wait to stay again next summer and fall. Legs Inn and the Brewery are a treat as well. The gas station is truly a general store with beer, wine, liquor, hot food and scoop able ice cream. Lots of firewood as well.

Site 2-Lake Side West
Love the beach + trees!
Pros- This was a great place to pitch a tent for a long weekend! We loved being able to be surrounded by trees and the sounds of birds while also being so close to the lake! The trees were great for a quick clothes line, hammock, and shade. We were pleasantly surprised too by the lack of bugs! We never needed bug spray! The site was well maintained and we appreciated having a picnic table! We are hoping to come again next fall!
Tips-
-consider arriving in daylight if possible. It was tricky to find the site in the dark and there were very few signs to support finding our way.
-We brought a small wagon to bring firewood and water back to our site more easily during our stay. We were really grateful for the firewood!
-We had raccoons visit while sitting by the fire our first night, but the site is so close to your car that we easily put our food items back in the car for overnight storage in a more secure way than our container and cooler. Something to think about!
Cons-
-sound carries on water. Between fishing boats launching early in the morning, a very large utility truck making hourly trips to the launch to dump something or get water (it was bizarre), and folks renting nearby cabins with 6+ very loud, screaming, flighting kids from 6am-10pm, it was less peaceful than we imagined. Not a deal breaker though! Just something to think about if you’re looking for peace and quiet, remote experiences.

Site 2-Lake Side West
Secluded beach view
Great site! Loved the lake view.
There is a board set up to lead you out to an even better view of the lake, and I was able to watch a group of deer getting a drink!
There’s a public boat launch close by which was nice to walk to. It was a bit noisy, but quieted down nicely by dusk.
The spots are spaced out enough that we felt alone even with the next site full.
Porta potty is by where you park, so trips in the dark require shoes and a flashlight!
It’s beautiful. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great site! Clean, plenty of space. Conveniently located near legs in and start of tunnel of trees. Big sites, easy in and out. Will definitely go again!
