Fishing and swimming enthusiasts will find direct lake access at this Corps of Engineers campground on DeGray Lake. The facility accommodates RVs up to 58 feet with electric hookups and provides a dump station for convenience. Water views define many of the sites here, with one tent loop positioned directly on the shoreline.
Site spacing varies across the campground, with RV areas notably close together according to multiple campers. Cheri H. found her site "overlooking the water" and "mostly level," requiring only minor adjustments with leveling blocks. The campground operates year-round at $20 per night, though water service shuts off during winter months.
Wildlife sightings add interest to stays here, with bald eagles frequently spotted around the lake. Walking opportunities exist throughout the area, though dedicated hiking trails are not available. The facility serves primarily boaters launching on DeGray Lake, creating a focused atmosphere around water activities. Winter visitors encounter fewer crowds and can witness snow flurries against the lake backdrop.
Basic amenities include restrooms, picnic tables, and cell service, with pets welcome throughout the campground. For additional options, campers can explore places to camp near DeGray Lake or visit the more developed state park facility down the road.
