Wanting to camp there this weekend, do i need reservations? Do they have any tent camp sites near the lake? Can't find much info on the web so i'm hoping somebody can help. THANKS!

There are some around the back side of the lake . I dont think you need reservations it also has a campground with all amenities.

ten point there are some nice tent sites (primitive) right on the lake - that's usually where camp there so we can run tightlines at night :) I can't say about the reservations part... we haven't ever had to do the reservation thing...

There looked like some real nice tent sites right on the lake like Gretchen said. If it was last weekend I would have made reservations (Memorial Day) but I don't know, I'd think you would be fine this weekend. I believe there is a sign up at the lake that says closing time is 10pm but obviously there is camping so people are fishing. I was wondering if I'd run in to any trouble if I were to fish after 10pm there...?
