    These are waterside campsites at Lillydale Campground on the shores of Dale Hollow Lake. Operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District, this favorite camping destination once featured plush loblolly pine trees. In 2001, an army of southern pine beetles infested 1,200 mature loblolly pines and the Corps had to close the campground for the 2002 recreation season, remove the trees, restore the campsite, and plant native hardwoods. Ten years later the campground has wide-open views of the lake and the hardwoods are growing up to provide shade for visitors.

Several tents, vehicles, and camping setups are visible among the trees on a sloped, sandy bank. Two or three motorboats are anchored near the shore with people gathered around them in the water.
    The image shows a close-up view of fragmented tree bark pieces scattered on a surface. The bark displays characteristic layered, platy texture with fibrous grain patterns typical of coniferous trees. Visible winding lines on the bark surface suggest insect gallery tunnels, possibly from bark beetles.
