3.0/5
Just a parking lot off the road, so not very pretty or quiet.
Most space available early December, though maybe only 10 or so sites. Pretty expensive ($54 for two, had power tho we didn't need it). Kitchen has no oven. Does have a card-operated security gate.

4.0/5
Everything else in the area was booked (requiring online advance booking), ranger pointed us here.
$10 per person, cash drop envelope. Pit toilets, no water, very basic. Spots are not marked, first come first pick, although there are some secluded parts surrounded by trees.

5.0/5
Really nice spots with lots of space, great view over lake.
One toilet with water and a couple of drop toilets.
You do hear the busy road traffic sounds but it's not that bad.
