With a picnic table, fireplace and toilet. Although it is located directly on the street, it is only moderately busy.

Campsite by the Lake with Fire Pit

Highlight • Rest Area

This isn't really a shelter. It's more of a fire pit with wind protection and a changing room. Pitching a tent is a breeze here.

You can camp here. There are two windbreak cabins, a dry toilet and... you can see it.

2 bunk beds, the bottom bunk wide enough for couples. Water from the lake, fire pit and a stove that smokes a bit at first but is safe to fire up later. The cottage is equipped with everything you need.
