what to expect

All campsites are secluded, large and flat. They are close to flush toilets, showers, laundry facilities, playground and drinking water taps. Three campsites have space for double family camping. For a more secluded camping experience, there are walk-in campsites (just a short walk from your car) with five of the sites situated on the waterfront. This is a great introductory experience to backcountry camping. This area is radio-free. Camp Cabins are located in a private area close to the beach. Yurts are found in the Windy Lake Campground.
