There is also a day use area with a beach, perfect for picnics and birthday parties. If youre looking for a cabin, there are some available for rent. The campground is popular in the fall for apple picking at Rulfs Orchard and for wind surfing. Be sure to check the weather before kayaking, as the lake can get very rough. The bathrooms and showers are clean, but dated. Verizon Hot spot and cell phones work well. Big rigs may have some problems with low hanging trees and narrow roads.
