Beautiful spot, great views over the lake.
As others mention a bit of noise from the road, but nice, friendly vibe: I was comfortable being there as a tent camping, solo, female, Tent spaces are best in area by the picnic benches, a sign by the toilet block suggests 2 other areas but very rocky and uneven sloping ground.

5.0/5
Beautiful, peaceful spot down a well maintained gravel road.
Small stream crossing which most cars should manage no problem. Cold running water needs boiling before use, clean long drop toilets, several picnic benches and fire pits dotted around. I was tent camping alone with only one other person parked up but felt very safe. A couple of nice little walks and a cute stream, lots of space. No mobile signal once on the gravel road.
