In the center of Steep Rock, just 250 m from the lake, you can set up a tent, or camper, with electrical and water access, just a 3 minute walk from the lake. There's a shady bonfire location in the bush with hammocks, access to a BBQ, on site kayak rentals, coffee, ice cream, cold drinks and other conveniences. And plenty of free parking. Accessible without driving down dusty gravel roads. Portable toilet on site. I had trouble uploading photos, otherwise I'd have better ones.
