Took me a bit of wandering down unmarked gravel roads to find the camping area, but I'm very happy I did.
There's a toilet and a picnic table. Drive a little, there's boat access, a couple of trees, and a grassy area which I think is the official camping area, then the road wanders half-way around Lake 13.
Nobody used the grassy area. The rain had made it a mosquito-infested bog. I parked at a wide spot in the road by the entrance, and at least one bunch of fishermen spent the night on the far side of the lake.
Super nice place!
ATT cellphone reception was good.
