suggested. You may also wish to identify an alternative campground in your
plans as the Lakeshore campgrounds are often full, especially during July
and August. Lakeshore campsites provide a picnic table, fire grate and tent
pad. Solar powered wells provide water. Vault toilets are available. Disabled
accessible campsites are provided at each campground and are reserved for
disabled campers till 6 p.m. each evening. If they are not filled after
6 p.m., other campers may occupy the disabled accessible campsite for that
night only. Camping is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
