Day users can enjoy picnicking with lake views, while anglers have access to the lakeshore marshes for fishing. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with some sites available for reservation. Sites include basic amenities such as fire rings and picnic tables. Water hookup sites are available for $10 per night. Bears are known to frequent this area, and campers are required to store food in bear-proof containers or vehicles.
