Some windy and some flat days on the lake. We did both and also hiked around numerous paths near the lake. Two main ones, one with parking and the other a shorter shot where people dropped off paddle boards and kayaks. Water available for the RV near the entrance station, ask so you don’t have to make a complete loop around the campground. Other sites that looked good were 5 and 55. Huge area around us with 2 bathrooms close. Our site was awesome, flat, 50 feet long, good sun for our solar and we got satellites on our dish. We had no reservations arrived on a Sunday. There was a mama bear and two cubs checking out sites in broad daylight and three male bears checking the lockers for 3-4 hours every night. Leave your food and anything that smells in the bear lockers. The road leading to the campground is one lane and pretty janky. They also require lifejackets be worn even on kayaks and paddleboards.
If you are going to boat they have very specific rules even for non-motorized craft so be careful you may need an inspection decal. The bike trails are extensive and there's a paved one off the main road coming in from the campground. Kiva Beach, right across the street, is a rare exception and I recommend it. This includes Pope Beach down the road from the campground. Just about everywhere here charges for parking even when it's federal lands and the America the Beautiful Pass doesn't get you in so be prepared for that.
The larger parts of the lake seem great for big motorboats but not paddleboards or kayaks. Go into town for supplies but go up north for trails and boating in Emerald Bay and the smaller coves.
