Roads are paved and this campground has a full phone reception with 4g. No additional overnight parking. Very beautiful lake ,small and secluded area but has limited spaces and cant fit large travel trailer or rv ,I say no more then 24ft for the most part. The only site big enough is camp #1 ,I was able to fit 33ft travel trailer and it was very tight fit . Trees are a bit lower so watch out. No remedys besides the toilets but even the toilets are very old and not well maintained. The biggest downside to this campground I think is the rangers who are overseeing this camp and problem wasn't with them doing their job, but rather how they were rude to guests so if you can avoid runs in with them you'll have a great time .

This is a very small campground with minimal facilities. There are restrooms and running water and trash removal. Easy access to a small sand beach on the lake. Our 20 ft van fit fine, but larger RVs and trailers may have a problem.
