It doesn't seem to mention it here- or maybe i just haven't looked around the ste enough- but there are campgrounds on the ther side of the lake from where the beach is. The first time i stayed there was when i was, like, a year old in 1986. I've stayed there a number of times since then. The toughest part is schlepping all your stuff up a mountain to get to the sites, since they don't allow cars past a certain point. That doesn't bother me, though, because what the lack of cars does is amazing- everything is beautiful, the lake is indescribably clean. there's no oil in it anywhere. I don't usually see too many people around, maybe a fe people going to and from their campsites or hiking around . the sites are very private- almost to th point of seclusion. I don't believe there are any showers, but if you sweim in the lake enough- and, really, swimming a lot is the best part of camping- you don't really need to sower. unless you're going to be staying there for a longer amount of time. anything under a week and ou're fine. The bathrooms are outhouses that are very clean. This campsite is not for someone who wants to have planned activities. Like i said, there's a lake and there are woods. There's not much else to do, and if you want to do something else, you have tohike down a mountain to get to your car and leave. The hike is on a roade wide wnough for a car- state patrollers can use their cars on the road- so it's not an obnoxious hike where you can get lost. If you're not in the mood for a retreat to nature deal, don't go there, but if your' the type who likes roughing it, its' probably one of the best campgounds you'll ever see.
