There are No resorts or Hotels to check-in so bring your own tent and be ready for camping. The best place to camp there is under the tall pine trees, though it’s too crowded during summer season. You can bring your own food (and don’t forget to bring plenty of water) or simply catch fish (sounds interesting right?). More or less you can do a survivor-like adventure if you desire!.
