The very end of the point is site 21, a pull-through site; we would have preferred to have this site, but it wasn’t available:

A couple of shots of the same part of the lake, where people enter it; the first one taken soon after arriving, and the second towards the end of our stay; if you look closely, you can see a significant drop in the water level:

A view from below our site, that should have been underwater if the lake were full:

The very low water level was rather sad; the lake would have been much nicer if full. But still a nice place to stay.

We plan to stay here again next year. Hopefully in site 21 next time, but site 19 would be a good second choice.
