Made the reservation weeks in advance. When we arrived the place was deserted! It was 104 degrees outside and the kids were tired of driving. They decided to play in the so called lake. There was a dead spider in the water and a dead fish on land. The ranger drove by us and was rude saying we didn't pay the $3 to park in the day use area. We told her that we have paid $25 to camp there she said she didn't have us down. I wasn't going to stay here anyway!! The squirrels were so hot they were lying in any shade they could find in the road sprawled!
