On the lake side of 89, a little harbor and campground next to the Native American-owned resort next door. The marina is closed because of the lake level.
The highway to the south curves around the campground, so you are closer to the noisy trucks and fleets of motorcycles than you would at first think - not a good thing.
Notes on each visit (posted cost • senior cost):
It's after Memorial Day, so the check-in gate was manned. As always, dealing with a check-in person makes 'getting settled' significantly longer and more of a pain in the ass.
Cell phone reception is worse this time, road noise is still omnipresent.
Cool place though!
No beach--goers this time of year so it's pleasantly uncrowded. It was fun to walk around here and the closed for the season resort across the inlet.
