RangerPanther Bay for Days
I have camped at either Panther Bay or Robinson Point on Norfolk Lake every year for as long as I can remember. Depending on the amount of water in the lake we would switch between the two camp grounds. Panther Bay was a little nicer if you wanted to have quick access to a marina. It offers plenty of easily accessible campsites for tent campers as well as individuals in an RV. One thing that can be a little aggravating for some is that there aren't any campsites that are right on the lake, from most sites you have about a 5 min walk down to the water, but it's still a camp ground I love.
