You'll need ground clearance and 4x4. Although I made it on a CRV with a few scrapes. Nice lake. Fairly remote. Not many other campers. Prepare for flies bothering you throughout the day.
Off the beaten path. Beautiful place to get away for a bit. Fish are easy to catch.
Best campground I have ever been to by far. Definitely need a car with ground clearance and 4wd but so worth the extremely long drive.
