Payne Lake West Side

This place was amazing. Watching the sun come up on this lake was so calming. We camped in site 16 and had a good view and a little walk way to the water.
I wasn’t impressed with the bathrooms or showers but they were at least clean. 

Beautiful and quiet 

Very quiet and secluded, there is a beach area for swimming and bathhouses are large and clean. Plenty of shade and picnic areas! 

Nice!

What else can you ask for, quiet and isolated. Restroom was nice and clean and camp host was available for any questions. Plenty of firewood to use around the property. 

Hidden Gem

I have driven through this campground before and thought it was beautiful, but this time it was not at all. The lake was down to the mud and stumps and they had just done a prescribed burn on the forest. Maybe this is how it looks every March. If that’s the case I would suggest going at a different time of year. This park has wonderful campsites and nice bathrooms. Definitely worth going to when you can enjoy the water as well! 

Could have been better

Very well kept clean relaxing campground been going here for years.
