Good fishing even without boat. Surprisingly great camping. State run off season electric and water. Self serve w/ host. Only $8 for tents! Quiet and spaced out. I had one bar LTE Unboosted (t mobile and att) spring 23.

Beautiful and peaceful but Beware the electricity and/or water are not working at some sites and there is no way to know which amenities are no longer working without test them yourself. Also restrooms and pit toilets were dirty and lacking toilet paper, soap, etc
