We stayed in one of the two cabins on the lake in Aug 2016. The lake was completely covered in algae. It is undergoing renovation. I am told that the renovation is about 70% done (Feb 2017). The rest of the grounds are very nicely maintained. It is really in an isolated area. And yes, you can only get wood by going to the brush pile, cutting it yourself with a saw that the office will lend you. The stars on a clear night there are just amazing. We did a lot of driving in the area. Simply beautiful. The National Forest is about 45 minutes northwest and Calamus Reservoir is about 45 minutes northeast.
