Summary
One of my favorite car camping campsites simply because it is usually empty and right next to the lake. Honestly, I used to love it also because the fishing was good there, but now that I’m a vegan, that stuff isn’t important anymore. Hard to disassociate camping/backpacking with fishing because that was a huge part of why it was so much fun. But another big part of the reason it is so fun is because nature is beautiful and you get to see the Earth as it is supposed to be. So I think I’ll just leave the fish alone from now on.
