My suggestion
Off season, it's a quiet place You'll have no problem sorting out a place to stay. If you want to go fishing, sort out equipment in advance, as it's hard to find here.
The lake water is still very clean but a rise in livestock using the area for winter pasture has led to some pollution of the shore and feeder rivers, so you are better off purifying your water.
Khuvsgul is a pristine but increasingly heavily visited part of Mongolia.
