No views from campsites. Lots of yellowjackets. No activities or amenities.One mile to town. No real restaurants or cafes in town. Tavern is open to those over 21. Gasoline available sometimes at exorbitant rates. Coffee shop open part time. Groceries not available but some dry goods at highly inflated prices. Lake and creek overgrown with seaweed and algae.
