There's a little lake, very cute, lots of grassy area to pitch tents around it, two long-drop toilets, water, tables (some under a roof) & fire pits. We would stay here again. Only thing we didn't like too much is quad tracks also around the lake.

When I was there on 10 June 2025, it was quiet and not many campers around. Charming surroundings. The only setback was the numerous mosquitoes. You could not leave the RV door opened for more than a few seconds and not find mosquitoes buzzing around inside.
