Lake Shore

What a great place to spend some time and get back to nature. The land was beautiful and well maintained. The Lake side camping spot we stayed at was just awesome, great view and no artificial lighting at all. The sites caretaker had the area ready for us with firewood we ordered delivered and stacked by the fire ring. We enjoyed the hiking trail and fishing.
