the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
Visitors to the north shore camp area should expect a more primitive atmosphere than the south shore facilities. There is no easy turn-around for large vehicles. The camp sites include a fire ring, lantern post, and picnic table. There are no restroom or trash receptacles at this North Shore location. There are a number of picnic tables near the South Shore boat launch that do include a restroom and trash receptacles.

Phone before you drive
recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.
