Everything gmanhunter said is correct.
I might add, do not be late because parking can become difficult.
My wife and I took our camper down early last year and camped right by the lake, it was awesome. This year if weather permits I am going down two days early and staying until sunday afternoon.
Another note of caution, many will bring family members who do not respect the proper 'techniques' and etiquette of ice fishing. Most of the fishing is in 8-20 fow. Just expect when you catch fish you will get neighbors that will move in on you way too close. Worse yet, the football/frisbee/ice skates/etc will come out and in that shallow of water your fishing will slow down.
My advice, do whatever it takes to put distance between you and anyone else.
The Forest Service and the UDWR deserve huge kudos for this exceptional event.
