They've also added a shower building. I talked with a ranger and he told me they were also adding 40 some electric sites on a hill above the lake for next year. I like to tent camp and was also excited to hear about tent only camping planned for the future.

The water is still accessible at the boat ramp. Fishing was slow, but probably due to a cold front that came through.
